INSTALLATION
STEP 14: CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
Important:
Follow all local codes and ordinances.
1. Cut on the marked line as required for your installation. The drain hose’s molded
end will fit 5/8” or 1” diameter connections on the air gap, waste tee, or
garbage disposal.
2. If a longer drain hose is required, you can add up to 42” of length, for a total of
10 ft. 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 screw-type
hose clamps.
3. Secure the drain hose to the air gap, waste tee, or garbage disposal with a
screw-type clamp, using the appropriate method below. See “Drain Preparation”
on page 6, if you do not know which method to use.
Important:
For proper drain operation, the total drain hose length must
not exceed 10 ft.
