Because the dishwasher is too far away from the sink? I've seen silly stuff like this before...

The dishwasher hose should be 5/8" ID it looks kinda narrow in the picture.

Looks like what I commonly see, but that stuff turns brittle after a while.

Do you have to have an iron nipple through the manufactured hole in a heater cabinet or can the CSST flex line run direct through the hole to the gas valve?
