Connecting Drain Hose - LG LDT566 Series Owner's Manual

Connecting Drain Hose

If the end of the drain hose does not fit the drain
line, use a heat and detergent resistant adapter
(not supplied). These may be obtained from a local
plumbing supply store.
• Cut the adapter so the end matches the size of the
drain connection.
NOTE
• For drain hose installation, use the screw style
hose clamp provided with this dishwasher in the
silverware basket.
• If connecting the dishwasher's drain hose to the
garbage disposal, be sure to follow your garbage
disposal's manual for proper installation instructions.
Drain Hose Requirements
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 12 ft. (3.65 m) distance to drain.
• Do not connect drain hoses from other appliances
to the dishwasher's drain hose.
• If an extension drain hose is required, use a 5/8"
or 7/8" inside diameter, 2-3 ft. length hose and a
coupler for connecting the two hose ends.
Connecting to Disposal without Air
Gap
The height of the drain hose end must be at least 12"
(305 mm) and within 40" (1016 mm) from the base of
the dishwasher to avoid water being siphoned from
