Plumb Shop Div Brasscraft 453-357 Dishwasher Branch Tailpiece

Product Description

The PLUMB SHOP DIV BRASSCRAFT 453-357 is a white plastic dishwasher branch tailpiece designed for residential drain line installations under the kitchen sink. It measures 1-1/2 inches outer diameter by 8 inches in length and includes a 3/4-inch OD branch outlet for dishwasher drain hose connection. The piece supports both slip joint and direct connect installations, providing installation flexibility in tight under-sink configurations. A nut and washer are included, making it a ready-to-install replacement for plumbers and DIYers working on kitchen drain assemblies.

This tailpiece is used in residential kitchen drain systems where a dishwasher drain discharge must tie into the sink drain line. It fits between the basket strainer outlet and the P-trap, with the branch outlet serving as the dishwasher hose connection point. The slip joint connection style allows for easy alignment and hand-tightened assembly during rough-in or service calls.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inches OD tube by 8 inches length for standard kitchen drain sizing
• 3/4-inch OD branch outlet for dishwasher drain hose tie-in
• Supports slip joint or direct connect installation methods

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential kitchen sink drain systems requiring a 1-1/2-inch slip joint tailpiece with a dishwasher branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced DIYer following local IPC plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and run the dishwasher drain cycle to clear standing water before disassembling existing drain components. Hand-tighten slip joint connections first to confirm alignment before applying final torque with slip-joint pliers. Avoid over-tightening plastic fittings, which can crack the nut or distort the slip joint seat.
