Hi there,
We just got a new dishwasher from Bosch. Our old washer used what looks like a 3/4" to 3/4" elbow washing machine line. I have bought a new line to install with the dishwasher. Is it okay to use this line or should I remove and replace the old compression shut off valve with a new 1/2" to 3/8" valve so I can use a "proper" dishwasher supply line.
I've never removed an shut off valve but do have the new valve and copper pipe cutter. I have read that the copper needs to be deburred after cutting but would using sandpaper be ok? The space is quite tight and I'm unsure if a deburring tool will fit. See image.
