So I am trying to tackle a few plumbing projects myself, I would consider myself handy but def not a plumber by any means.
Item #1 is running line and drain for new dishwasher which will now be adjoining the sink base cabinet. It is being move just about 5' from where it originally was. For the hot water supply I was actually going to hook up to the copper line that was feeding the first d/w and run a flexible line (pex or braided) up through the floor to the new d/w space (see pics for old copper line). I was originally going to run the line off the kitchen hot supply under the sink but figured this would be cleaner and its already in place...
Item #2 is the drain for the new d/w...it originally drained via a pipe in wall, that runs into waste pipe in basement (see pics). I would prefer to not have to remove this pipe so was going to try and cap it somehow, and run drain line from new d/w to the sink drain via one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Eastman-3512...&qid=1539697977&sr=8-1&keywords=eastman+35128
Item #3 is running a water line for the new fridge. Originally was going to run off the cold water line under sink, down through floor along basement ceiling and pop up over where fridge is (this would be at min. a 15'-20' line). However when I went in basement I noticed this pex stub which is right below where the fridge will be going (see pic). I had some plumbing work done a few years back and am thinking the plumber may have put this in specifically for running a water line to fridge at some point given its location and not sure why else it would be there. it would be like a 5' run from this to the fridge (with slack to move fridge in and out).
Was hoping to get thoughts on the above, if my decisions were going to be correct and what I might need supply wise to accomplish. Was originally going to use sharkbite products but with whats in place not sure that is necessary any more. I will be cutting the stubs down (see pics, they are way too high) and attaching new shark bite shut offs for the sink lines. Thank you for the time.
