INSTALLATION

Connecting the Inlet Hose

The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not reuse old hoses.
NOTE
• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138–827 kPa).
• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting the inlet hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi (827 kPa), a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.
• Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
• Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.
1. Check the rubber seal in the inlet hose. Two rubber
seals are supplied with each inlet hose. They are used
for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection
to the cold water tap is tight.
2. Check the installation type.
Short
hose
Y connector
WITH WASHER
Connect all water supply hoses tightly by hand and
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
WITH WASHER: When connecting the dryer to the
same faucet as a washer.
a. Shut off the cold water tap and remove the washer hose.
b. Connect the short hose to the Y-connector using one
of the rubber seals.
c. Connect the other end of the short hose to the cold
water faucet.
d. Connect the long dryer hose to one side of theY-connector
and connect the washer hose to the other side.
WITHOUT WASHER: If the dryer does not share the
cold water tap with a washer.
a. Connect the straight end of the long hose to the cold
water faucet.
NOTE
• Before connecting the water line to the dryer, flush
several gallons of water into a drain or bucket. This will
help prevent foreign particles such as sand and scale
from clogging the dryer inlet valve.
• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses and that
they are not crushed.
4. Turn on the cold water faucet.
5. Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and in all
hoses.
NOTE
• If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet,
remove the hose and check the condition of the
rubber seals.
