They may not be covered by NEC...manufacuring.
What size are the wires in that tiny DW JB...they ain't #12s or even #14s!

That sounds just like what I said, 4' from the plane of the rear of the dishwasher, at least another 2' to the box and in the box makes a 6' cord about right, Do you disagree?

I just asked you how you felt about it.

Wow this thread has taken some turns.....

Back to those boots - they are a personal safety item. And if you really want to keep them on - brag about that athetes foot. It works for me...

I will do very little without my boots on.Tell her to cover the floors with plastic and call you back.Or were your boots filthy? Usually i carry extra pair just in case previous job was in the mud.Extra jeans and t shirt too.

The point is:
There is more than one way to wire a DW and be code compliant...both methods are...."quality" is opinion.

Now if the HO wanted to pay extra for the device and plate, drilling the cabinet (I hate to put them behind the units), attaching the cord (even if it comes "wired" from the appliance store, I check it)...I would more than happy to give them a number

Celtic, where do you plan on installing the outlet, if you hate to put them behind the units?
I didn't know we could pass a cord through a cabinet, unless it was a listed device and installation (ie an over the stove micro/hood).

Thank you for the clarification.

No problem.

You can cord it up, drill a hole, and you're done....leave it for whenever the plumbers get done doing their thing - they can plug it in.

I just install the cord on the DW, let the plumber worry about drilling a hole for the cord in the cabinet, if the DW is on site... the way I look at it they make more money than me anyway... :)

I see you making a return trip because the plumber thinks you make the big bucks.And just who puts this cord on the replacement DW that wasnt factory installed ? Is he qualified to do a cord but not romex ?
