Larsen Supply 344485 Dishwasher Branch Tailpiece 1-1/2x8 5/8 Outlet

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. 344485 is a dishwasher direct connect branch tailpiece designed for kitchen sink drain applications where a garbage disposal is not present. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter by 8 inches in length, this tailpiece features a 5/8-inch outlet branch specifically sized to accept a standard dishwasher drain hose. It provides a direct connection point for routing dishwasher discharge into the sink drain line without the need for a disposal unit. Plumbers and plumbing contractors install this fitting during new construction or remodel work where dishwasher drain routing must be addressed at the sink tailpiece rather than through an air gap or disposal inlet.

This tailpiece is intended for residential kitchen sink installations where a dishwasher is present but no garbage disposal is installed. The 5/8-inch branch outlet accepts standard dishwasher drain hose, making it a common solution during kitchen plumbing rough-in or appliance swap-outs. It is sold individually and arrives carded, suitable for both service call inventory and counter sales at supply houses.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified plumbing technician. Shut off water supply and ensure the drain line is clear before replacing the tailpiece. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines for drain and waste connections, when routing dishwasher discharge. Do not overtighten slip-joint nuts, as this can crack the fitting or distort the washer seal.
