I have seen some people here on YA, and even an op-ed article, saying that most of the houses lost in the fire were in dangerous locations and shouldn't have been built in the first place.
Your copper tubing should fit the new dishwasher with the replacement of the olive which is the ball that seals the connection. another option is to replace the supply line with a stock piece from Your local hardware store.
No. each state has specific laws detailing the method of execution, the time, the people who have to be there, and other specific details. There is no ad-libbing allowed.
It would be best if you replaced it. The old one might not be long enough and when you try to use fittings made for copper (compression) more than once, they won't make a tight and correct seal. Also by using the new line, it would cut down on any chances of a leak on down the way. It's not that big of deal to just change it out, just do it and you will have peace of mind knowing you did a 1, professional job installing it.
