THE VALVE DRAIN HOSE
_.
Take a length
of 7/16" inside diameter
(I.D.)
drain
hose
and
attach
1 end to the flow
washer
housing
(FIG. 9). Use a hose clamp
to
h old it in place. Put the other end of the hose over
a floor drain, or into a laundry
tub (FIG. 9), intoa
sump or standpipe
(FIG. 10), or into some other
suitable
drain. CHECK
YOUR LOCAL
CODES.
IMPORTANT
NOTES: [See Fig. 9, 10 and 11]
•
Leave an air gap of about
1-1/z'' between
the end of the hose and the drain.
This gap
is needed
so you don't
get a back-flow
of
sewer water into the softener.
DO NOT put the
end of the hose
into the
drain
or connect
without the air g_p.
•
Place and support
the hose so it does not
kink or have sharp bends.
Tie or wire the
hose in place so water pressure will not make
it "whip".
Do not pinch the hose shut.
•
Keep the hose lower
than the flow washer
housing.
(In some homes, to get to a drain
you must raise the hose and run it over-head.
If
you need an over-head
drain, do not raise the
hose more than 8' above the floor. A copper
drain
line is best to use...see below.)

COPPER
DRAIN
KIT:
The
plumbing
codes
where you live may say that you must use a
copper valve drain
line. A copper line is also
best to use for an over-head
drain.
Use a cop-
per drain
line if the softener
is installed
out-
side,
or in the sunlight.
Heat
from
the sun
makes many kinds of rubber or plastic
hose to
collapse
or close up.
You can get the kit shown
in Fig. 11 from
Sears.
It is put in place
of the flow
washer
housing that comes with the softener.
How to
install guides are in the kit.
