The Bosch dishwasher does not come with every thing you need to install it. It comes with an electrical cord with a standard plug on one end and with a proprietary connector on the washer end, the drain to the sink (or more specifically a disposal) and the parts needed for physically installing the machine. It still requires the plumbing for the hot water line. The useful parts that the Best Buy kit provides are a brass angled connector which connects to a "hose connector" on the back of the washer and a braided stainless hose to connect to your plumbing. The "hose connector" is the same size and thread pattern as a garden hose. You need a 90 degree fitting since the washer's inlet is perpendicular to the back of the machine and nearly all installations will require the water hose to turn 90 degrees for clearance with the wall behind the washer. The stainless hose attaches to the brass fitting and may or may not have the correct fitting to attach to your home plumbing. I had to add an adapter for mine. If you have a good source for plumbing parts nearby, you probably could duplicate the kit locally.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends. You can also buy what you need from a hardware store and save a few $. I used the 90 degree water connection and the water supply line. I didn't need the plug or other small pieces.
