Hi redline,
Congrats!
A 90 degree water line adapter should work. We connect the hose directly to the fresh water intake and bend the hose slightly to close the wet bay door. No hassle and no mess! Works well for us.
We've connected the sewer hose directly to drain with no trouble. That said, I plan to pick up a 3-5 inch clear straight adapter.
