What happens here

Once all PVC components are in place and aligned, hand-tighten all slip nuts. Then, use channel locks to give each nut an additional 'snug' turn, being careful not to overtighten and crack the plastic. For the dishwasher drain line, if the existing hose is too small for the new PVC connection, use a dishwasher connector kit (e.g., InSinkErator brand) which includes a flexible adapter and hose clamps. Insert a small copper stub piece into the adapter to act as a stiffener, ensuring a tight seal with the hose clamp. Connect the dishwasher drain hose to the adapter, then attach the adapter to the dishwasher inlet on the PVC T-fitting. Secure all connections with hose clamps.

Goal: All PVC connections are hand-tightened and then snugged with a wrench, and the dishwasher drain hose is connected using an appropriate adapter.
