STEP 15: CONNECT DRAIN LINE

The molded end of the drain hose will fit 5/8" 
through 1" diameter inlet ports on the air gap, waste 
tee or disposer.
• Determine the size of the inlet port
• Cut the drain hose connector on the marked line, if 

required, to fit the inlet port.

• If a longer drain hose is required, and you did not 

purchase the GPF10S drain hose, add up to 42" 
length, for a total of 120" (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  
with hose  
clamps.

IMPORTANT –

 Total drain hose length must 

not exceed 10 feet for proper drain operation.

• Connect drain line to air gap, waste tee, or disposer 

using the previously determined method. Secure 
the hose with a screw type clamp.

Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges  

for a no drain complaint

Make sure any excess drain hose has been pulled 
through the cabinet opening. This will prevent 
excess hose in the dishwasher cavity from 
becoming kinked or crushed by the dishwasher.
Make sure the disposer plug has been removed if 
the drain hose is connected to a disposer.
