Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connecting the drain hose form to the corrugated
drain hose
1. Feed end of drain hose into one end of form. Place end of
drain hose form into the drain hose relief.
2. Bend the hose over the top of the form and feed into the
other end of the form.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
■
Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should
be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
■
Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
Floor drain
Do not install the drain hose form on to the corrugated drain hose.
You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and
Parts.”
Connect the Inlet Hoses
1. Insert one new large flat washer into one end of each inlet
hose. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
2.
Screw on the hose adapter by hand until it is seated on the
washer. Using pliers, tighten the hose adapter with an
additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten.
3. Insert one new small flat washer into the end of the hose
adapter. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses with the adapters, to the water faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty.
1. Attach the end of the hose with the adapter, labeled hot, to the
hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated
on the washer.
2. Attach the end of the hose with the adapter, labeled cold, to
the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is
seated on the washer.
3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the
valve. Damage to the valves can result.
Clear the water lines
1. Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry
tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water
lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
2. Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the
cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
3. Insert new large flat washers (supplied) into each end of the
inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses to the washer
1. Attach the hot water hose to the bottom inlet valve.
