INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
• The drain hose should always be properly secured.
Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in
fl ooding and property damage.
• The drain must be installed in accordance with any
applicable local codes and regulations.
• 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
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 fi rmly 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 fl ooding. 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.
Drain Hose
NOTE:
• Normal height of the end of the hoses should be
approximately 35”~47” (90~120 cm) from the fl oor.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• If the standpipe is too narrow to fi t 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:
• 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.
Drain Hose
NOTE:
• Do not use this drain hose with a fl oor drain. The end of
the drain hose must be at least 29 inches above the fl oor
for proper draining to occur.
