2. Water Connections:

The water connection is made to the 3/4-11.5 NH
bushing of the electric water solenoid valve located
at the rear upper left area of the dryer (see photo).
The water solenoid valve has a 3/8” M.P.T.
connection and a 1/2” bushing is supplied to provide
the minimum 1/2-inch supply (feed) line.  Flexible
supply line/coupling 

must be

 used in effort to avoid

damage to electric water solenoid valve.

IMPORTANT:

Flexible supply line/coupling 

must be

 used.  Solenoid valve failure due to hard

plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.  

It is recommended

 that a filter

or strainer be installed in the water supply line.

Typical water supply:
