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.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson.

Secure the drain hose with the provided clamps to prevent leaks and verify the connection meets local plumbing code requirements per the IPC or applicable local amendments.
