Why 3 separate connections??
• 1 & 2 are dedicated hot and cold water lines that serve the faucet
• 3 is a dedicated hot waterline that serves the dishwasher
• Two outlets serve dishwasher and garbage disposal independently.
What’s the significance?
- I chose this configuration for
1. Ease of maintenance
2. Ability to isolate each fixture without shutting off the others. Dishwasher/Faucet in case of emergency.
3. The double outlets also serve a purpose as well as a code requirement for separate individual ways to isolate and or service dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Typically we used to use a double shutoff valve but I’ve found them to be unreliable. Although that method is still popular I went with this in case I have to service it later. Saves time and reduces likelihood that homeowners won’t be able to shutoff in case of emergency.
