INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
y The drain hose should always be properly secured.
Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in
flooding and property damage.
y The drain must be installed in accordance with any
applicable local codes and regulations.
y Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
OPTION 1: STANDPIPE
Bend the outlet end of the drain hose to form a U
shape. Insert the end of the drain hose into the drain.
If the drain is large enough for the flange on the hose
to fit inside, then do not insert the flange more than
1-2 inches into the drain. Use the tie strap included
with the installation materials in the foam block in
the tub to secure the drain hose to the drain.
If the water valves and drain are built into the wall,
fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with
the tie strap (ribbed side on inside).
If your drain is a standpipe, fasten the drain hose to
the standpipe with the tie strap provided.
NOTE:
y Normal height of the end of the hose should be ap-
proximately 35”~47” (0.9~1.2 m) from the floor.
y Do not install the end of the drain hose higher
than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above the bottom of the
washer or more than 60 in. (152.4 cm) away from
the washer.
y Never seal the drain hose to the drain such as
with tape. If no air gap is present, water can be
siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/
rinse performance or clothing damage.
OPTION 2: LAUNDRY TUB
Bend the end of the drain hose to the desired shape
and support it on the edge of the laundry tub. Use
the tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.
