WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
WATER SUPPLY
The water supply to the washer unit should be capable of providing both adequate water
pressure and water temperature. The pressure should fail within the range of 30 pounds per
square inch to 120 pounds per square inch when the washer is filling. Note that this is flow
pressure and not static pressure. Low water pressure will result in slow fill and could result
in a water valve sticking open after a fill.
The temperature of the hot water as delivered to the washer should be 140 degrees F. The
temperature of the cold water as delivered to the washer should be 75 degrees F.
Warm water temperature is a result of the mix of the hot and cold water supplies. The final
temperature is dependent on both the pressure and the temperatures of the hot and cold sup-
plies. The desired temperature for warm is between 100 degrees F and 105 degrees F.
DRAIN FACILITIES
Because of the desirability of flush to the wall installation of the stacked washer/dryer, a
drain directly behind the unit is preferred to a drain located on either side,
The washer unit is equipped with a built-in siphon break which allows for a variance in
height of the drain facility. The drain must be capable of accepting a flow rate of approxi-
mately 20 gallons per minute. An inside diameter of at least 1" - 1 l/2" is required.
The portion of the drain hose from the siphon break to the drain can be extended to a floor
drain. Consult the parts catalog for extra drain hose as needed.
The use of a laundry built-in wail box can greatly simplify installation of the unit.
