This can be done by opening at least one tap. 4.2 Cut into the cold water mains supply in order to install two isolation valves, one for the mains inlet and one for the mains outlet. - Page 8 Connect the straight drain outlet (part 11. page 5) to a local drain by means of the 13 mm flexible drain hose supplied in the installation kit. ENSURE THE HOSE IS FULLY PUSHED ON TO THE STRAIGHT DRAIN OUTLET. This drain pipe has been reinforced to avoid possible problems caused by kinking of the pipe.
