diameter inlet ports on the air gap, waste tee or disposer.
• Determine size of inlet port
• Cut drain hose connector on the marked line, if required, to fi t 

the inlet port.

(10 feet) to the factory installed hose. Use 5/8" or 7/8" inside 
diameter hose and a coupler to connect 
the two hose ends. 
Secure the 
connection

Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges for a no drain 

complaint

Make sure excess drain hose has been pulled through
