Simple dishwasher installation

[SJB]

Hello all.

I'm sure this is a really basic question, but my plumbing knowledge really is minimal and I have a question which I need a second opinion on.

The picture I have attached is underneath my kitchen sink. Are the valves attached to the incoming pipes suitable for installation of a dishwasher or not? Is the self-cutting valve necessary?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

wth am i looking at? that black hose i have no idea what it is or does

never seen it before

The picture is of the water pipes supplying our kitchen sink, and the hose is supplying a dishwasher via a self-cut valve. I was led to believe, and was looking for a second opinion, that the valves already installed on these pipes were sufficient to supply a dishwasher, making the self-cut valve unnecessary.

All of the existing water supply pipe and fittings should be cut out and replaced. The "self-cut valve" makes me cringe. Whoever did the original plumbing there should be flogged...

i am thinking you are in either UK or Australia ?

the size of the piping looks to be large enough ..for a picture with out measureing

It's in the UK, obviously thrown up overnight.

So the diameter of the pipe would be the limitation, not the connection?
