Adding a water line extension to a sgx68u55uc/f7 bosch dishwasher

[Rebekkah Brainerd]

As the title states, I am trying to add a water supply extension to a sgx68u55uc/f7 bosch dishwasher. It was bought second hand, so it already came with a supply line and drain line added. For it's placement in my kitchen however I need supply/drains that are longer than what is already attached. I have solved the drain line, but the water supply I am running into issues.

The manufacturer said that any drain extension of theirs would work for this model. However, the extension is braided metal/brass, and the supply line already attached is a plastic and rubber tubing contraption. It goes into the dishwasher, and there is no female port or anything; it's a rubber tube that's clamped. I've attached a video, and there are also photos. First photo is the water line that is there now. Second is how the water line attaches into the dishwasher. Third is the end of the extension (brass) and the water line currently in place (yellow/white/plastic), which has the rubber hose inside that eventually goes into the machine and clamps inside as seen in image 2. Fourth photo is what the thing that the rubber tube attaches to looks like.

Any advice on how to make this work? Is there another extension that would work better? I assume I will need to replicate the rubber tube/clamp situation somehow?

You’ll remove the brass 90 on the end of your existing stainless braid hose.

You’ll also remove the small brass nut that’s on this adapter.

You’ll screw the large end of the adapter above over one end of the hose coupling below. You’ll have a rubber washer in between the two.

Then you’ll screw the hose thread into the dishwasher connection.

You’ll then screw the chrome nut of your braided stainless line to the small end of the first adapter fitting.

Pull all those connections into the sink cabinet, don’t leave it coiled up under the dishwasher, though you probably don’t have any room under the Bosch, I think they pretty much sit on the floor.

First off, thank you SO much. It took me a minute to respond as I needed to get parts and have time to get it together. Everything seems to be working... except that the head of the original supply seems to be spitting water everywhere when I turn the water on. See video attached. Any suggestions?

From my googling it seems this is a bosch inlet valve, and it needs to be replaced if it's doing that. I can't find anything that says it actually goes to this dishwasher, but I found this: https://www.partstown.com/bosch/bsh...dium=organic&utm_campaign=organicshopping_mkt

Does that seem correct?

It looks like it’s not made up right, is there a gasket missing in there?

Entirely possible. It seems like the head of the intake valve (I think that's right) is too loose or something. I can make the tiniest gap appear around it when I wiggle it around (and it seems that's where the water is coming out when on). Video for reference.
