Oatey dear-7983 Dishwasher Disposal Connection

Product Description

The OATEY dear-7983 is a dishwasher disposal connection fitting designed to link a dishwasher drain line to a garbage disposal inlet. It ships with clamps included, eliminating the need to source hardware separately. This type of fitting is a standard component in residential kitchen plumbing installations and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced DIYers during dishwasher or disposal replacements. The included clamps provide a secure, leak-resistant seal at the drain hose connection point.

This fitting is suited for residential kitchen sink installations where a dishwasher drain line must connect to a garbage disposal. It is commonly used during new appliance installations, disposal replacements, or kitchen remodel plumbing rough-ins. The connection is designed for under-sink service, where space constraints and secure hose retention are primary concerns.
