Connecting waste
The Quooker tank releases expansion water via the inlet combination valve
which is fed into the grey funnel. The funnel is connected to the waste pipe via
the supplied waste hose. The drilling kit, also supplied, can be used to make a
connection to the waste pipe.
It is important to keep the height distance between the inlet combination valve
and the connection to the waste pipe as large as possible to prevent waste
water from flowing back.

1 Drilling hole
Using the drill bit supplied, drill and
tap in one operation a threaded hole
in the waste pipe. Drill slowly so that
the PVC does not melt. Turn back anti-
clockwise to preserve the thread.
2 Fit connector
First try to screw the PVC connector in
the hole before fitting permanently
with PVC glue.
3 Connect hose
to waste pipe
Slide the waste hose over the PVC
connector.
4 Connect hose to
inlet combination
valve
Create a u-bend (or loop) in the hose
and connect it to the funnel of the
inlet combination valve. The u-bend
will create a water lock to block smells
from the waste pipe. As the water is
being heated, the inlet combination
valve will release drips of water into
the grey funnel. The open funnel is
required to prevent pressure build-up.
