Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connecting the drain hose form to the corrugated
drain hose
A
4.5"
(11.4 cm)
A. Drain hose reliefs
1. Feed end of drain hose into one end of form. Place end of drain
hose form into the drain hose relief.
2. Bend the hose over the top of the form and feed into the other end
of the form. Attach the other end of the form into the other drain
hose relief. The hose must extend 4½" (11.4 cm) beyond the form.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
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.
Floor drain
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.”
Connect the Inlet Hoses

Clear the water lines
Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a
laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the
water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the
cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
