You will need the hot water supply line going into the dishwasher, and it is a good idea to get a 90 degree adapter. The connection to the dishwasher side is 'garden hose' threads. The 90 degree adapter is needed because the dishwasher connection is straight back, and there may not be enough room once the dishwasher is pushed into place. Get the 90 degree adapter & water supply hose at Menards / Lowes / Home Depot and buy the hot water supply line of the correct length you need. I recommend the metal braided ones for reliability. Total cost should run under $15.

Some stores sell 'dishwasher installation kits' for $25 to $30, but you will get $20 of extra parts you don't need, as all you need is the water supply line. Plus, the one included in these kits are 'universal' meaning they are at least 10' long, which is way too long for most installs.

The Bosch dishwasher water drain hose is included with the dishwasher, and is plenty long.

You will need an installation kit and a nearby outlet, of course, to plug it in.
