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

It does eliminate chance of cross contamination.

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

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?
