helped a buddy swap one once, but it was pretty much a like-for-like...
Swapping mine out this weekend, and the current one doesn't match up to the parts/manual for the new one. Just wondering if I can swap it out without making any alterations to the current design.
Here's what I have:
And here's what the instructions show:
1. The new one only comes with a 90-degree elbow. Any reason I can't just connect the straight pipe right back to the new one?
2. The new one has the diagram where it goes up and mentions an air gap. Any reason I can't simply knock the DW plug out of the new one and hook the existing hose right back up?
My plan would be to do a basic remove and reinstall, but figured I'd ask. I'm already having to replace the whole flange, and would rather not replumb anything else if it wasn't necessary.
