Connecting Inlet Hose

The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses
NOTE
• Water supply pressure must be between 21.8 PSI and 116 PSI (150~800 kPa).
• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting inlet hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 800 kPa, a decompression device should be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.
• Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
• Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.
1. Check rubber seal in the inlet hose. Two rubber seals
are supplied with each inlet hose. They are used for
preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to
the cold water tap is tight.
2. Check the installation type.

Connect all water supply hoses tightly by hand and
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
WITH WASHER: When connecting the dryer to the
same faucet as a washer.
a. Shut off the cold water tap and remove the washer hose.
b. Connect the short hose to the Y-connector using one
of the hose washers.
c. Connect the other end of the short hose to the cold
water faucet.
d. Connect the long dryer hose to one side of theY-connector
and connect the washer hose to the other side.
WITHOUT WASHER: If the dryer does not share the
cold water tap with a washer.
a. Connect the straight end of the long hose to the cold
water faucet.
NOTE
• Before connecting the water line to the dryer, flush
several gallons of water into a drain or bucket. This will
help prevent foreign particles such as sand and scale
from clogging the dryer inlet valve.
• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
