Installation
Drain Connection
A drain system of adequate capacity is
essential to washer-extractor performance.
Ideally, the water should empty through a
vented pipe directly into a sump or floor drain.
Figures 7 and 8 show drain line and drain
trough configurations.

A flexible connection must be made to a
vented drain system to prevent an air lock and
to prevent siphoning. If proper drain size is not
available or practical, a surge tank is required.
A surge tank in conjunction with a sump pump
should be used when gravity drainage is not
possible, such as in below-ground-level
installations.

Before any deviation from specified
installation procedures is attempted, the
customer or installer should contact the
distributor.
Increasing the drain hose length, installing
elbows, or causing bends will decrease drain
flow rate and increase drain times, impairing
washer-extractor performance.

See the Pocket Hardmount Drain Information
table in this subsection for capacity-specific
drain information.
Installation of additional washer-extractors
will require proportionately larger drain
connections. See the Pocket Hardmount Drain
Line Sizing table in this subsection.
