anything in particular to worry about? besides killing myself. I bought the plug w/ the 3 loose wires sticking out as well as the new hot water line and elbow to replace the current copper line. the middle one looks like the green (ground) but i can't tell which one is the black or white one, they all have metal tips. Also, do i have to have the little plastic tops to twist the wires together? or electrical tape sufficient?
If a 15 or 20 amp duplex receptacle is wired correctly, the neutral will be on the left(wide slot). hot on the right(narrow slot) equipment ground on the bottom. Your cord connections should match with thatBlack/hotwhite/neutralgreen
Use wire nuts, NOT JUST TAPE. Invest in an inexpensive tester to determine which one is the hot lead - that connects to the black wire. To be safe, why not call a local handyman who has done this before if you are unsure? Water and electricity don't mix, especially if you miss grounding the unit or incorrectly switching the hot and neutral.
a dish washer needs to b e hard wired if you do not know what this means get a electrician.
