INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
y The drain hose should always be properly secured.
Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in
flooding and property damage.
y The drain must be installed in accordance with any
applicable local codes and regulations.
y Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
CONNECTING THE PEDESTAL WASHER DRAIN HOSE
1. Insert the band clamp (included in packing box) on
to the drain hose elbow.
2. With the hose leading up from the elbow, insert
the elbow onto the drain outlet on the back of the
pedestal washer.
3. Adjust the band clamp with pliers to keep the
hose securely in place and prevent leaking.
USING THE DRAIN CONNECTOR
y Connect the drain hose of the full-size washer and the
pedestal washer to the drain connector. Insert the included
wire hose clamps on to the ends of the two drain hoses.
Push the drain hoses firmly onto the drain connector. Adjust
the wire hose clamps to prevent the hoses from coming
loose or leaking. Failure to do so could result in flooding.
Use of the drain connector helps avoid siphoning, odors, or
improper draining.

OPTION 1: STANDPIPE
Bend the outlet end of the drain hoses to form a U shape.
Insert the end of the drain connector into the drain. Use the
three tie straps included with the installation materials in the
foam block in the tub to secure the drain hoses to each other
and to the drain. See Overview of Connections for details.
If your drain is a standpipe, fasten the drain hoses to the
standpipe with the tie strap provided.
NOTE:
y Normal height of the end of the hoses should be
approximately 35"~47" (90~120 cm) from the floor.
y Do not install the end of the drain hoses lower than 29".
(73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above the
bottom of the washer or more than 60 in. (152.4 cm) away
from the washer.
y Never create an airtight seal between the hoses and the
drain with tape or other means. If no air gap is present,
water can be siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor
wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.
y For best performance, if there is an additional drain hose
from a hybrid dryer, place the drain hose in the standpipe
next to the drain connector.
y If the standpipe is too narrow to fit both the drain connector
and the dryer drain hose, the dryer drain hose may be
inserted up to 3/4 in. into the center channel of the drain
connector. See Overview of Connections, page 10.
CAUTION
y Inserting the dryer drain hose farther than 3/4 in.
will cause leaking and improper draining.
OPTION 2: LAUNDRY TUB
Bend the end of the drain hoses to the desired shape
and support them on the edge of the laundry tub.
Use the tie strap to secure the drain hoses in place.
NOTE:
y Do not use this drain hose with a floor drain. The
end of the drain hose must be at least 29 inches
above the floor for proper draining to occur.
