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.

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."
