5.5.5.2 Connecting the Waste Line to the System Drain Port (Drain Tubing)
Parts required
• Drain tubing from ship kit
• Elbow connection piece from ship kit
• Suitable waste container
Follow these steps
1. Push an elbow connection piece into the system drain port as far as
it goes in to establish a self-sealing connection.
2. Push the drain tubing into the elbow connection piece with your
hand as far as it goes in to establish a self-sealing connection.
3. Route the free end of the drain tubing into a waste container.
4. Only if guiding the drain tubing toward the system's rear: Insert the
drain tubing into the clips and make sure that the drain tubing does
not form a siphon.
Figure 28: Inserting the drain tubing into clips
TIP
If routing the drain tubing of the column compartment also toward the
system's rear, you can insert the drain tubing of the column
compartment into the clips as well.
5. Ensure proper drainage of waste (see next section).
Ensuring Proper Drainage of Waste
1. Position the waste container below the level of the system stack. To
prevent solvent vapors from evaporating back into the system, make
sure that the distance is sufficient.
2. Make sure the drain tubing is neither bent nor pinched.
