Why do we need a dishwasher shut-off valve?
You need to be able to turn off the water supply to the dishwasher when it’s not in use. This is to prevent leaks and water damage in your kitchen. Without a dishwasher shut-off valve, insurance companies may deny compensation in the event of water damage.
According to Säker Vatten (Safe Water), the dishwasher must have either a manual or electronic shut-off valve that is easily accessible.
For the mixer taps in our range that do not have a built-in dishwasher shut-off, we combine them with the KNYCKLAN electric dishwasher shut unit to meet Swedish requirements. KNYCKLAN is also a great addition when installing a washing machine.
