A KitchenAid Patrician Brooklyn Bound...

Thanks to an ad posting from Phil, and for Mark being so kind picking it up for me, I am now the proud owner of a KitchenAid KDP-20 Patrician.

Mark told me the Patrician is in nice shape and sent me these pictures:

We plan the meet in Maryland in the summer so I can pick-up the Patrician.

 

That will give me time to modify a base cabinet that I have and lay down some pipe.

 

Stay tuned!

Thanks Bob, while not a Superba, I think this one will do nicely. The condition was nice and the price was right.

Laying Pipe?

Do you need help with that? It sounds like an AWFULLY BIG PROJECT to me. Just sayin....

You will be happy to know that your dishwasher is very cozy with some friends. My front bedroom now has like six dishwashers in it. Anytime anyone comes over to spend the night they just roll their eyes. I expect the show hoarders to be knocking on my door any day now...

"Laying pipe"

 

 

Well Mark I'd never say no to a helping hand. Specially on a big project. Glad the Patrician is all comfy and cozy with his mates. Once again, thank you so  much Mark.

Does anyone know he exact dimensions of the KDP-20? I need to modify a base cabinet I have. 

 

Thanks in advance!

Here you go.

Thank you Ralph! Any idea how deep the Patrician is? I'm trying to determine if I'll have clearance for a 2" drainage pipe in the rear.

 

I can't use the base cabinet after all, it's only 23 inches wide. Going to have to by a pre-made  one.

Check your email.

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">I sent you something that may help.  It's not the best scan but the opening dimensions are on there.  It looks like it wants a minimum of 24 1/4.  Depending how low you put the pipe you should be OK.</span>

Thank you again Ralph! It seems I'll have the clearance if the Patrician is 21" at it's deepest point.

Installing a KD-20 Series KA DW

Hi Louie, you need 24"in depth for this and most US DWs, many European DWs are only 22" deep however.

 

One neat thing about KA DWs from this time period is you can install them freestanding and attach sides and top as desired because of the DWs full frame construction, you may not really need a cabinet, sometimes this really helps if you have a tight space.

Hey thanks John. I had no idea you could basically attach the sides and top directly to the dishwasher. The Patrician is going to go where the Maytag A-107 is now, between the G.E. and the Caloric so it is going to be free standing.
