2.Water Connections:
The water connection is made to the 3/4”-11.5 NH hose adapter of the electric water solenoid valve, located at the rear upper midsection of the dryer (refer to the photo).
The water solenoid valve has a 3/8” M.P.T. connection supplied with a 3/4”-11.5 NH hose adapter to provide the minimum 1/2-inch supply (feed) line. Flexible supply line/coupling must be used in an effort to avoid damaging the electric water solenoid valve.
NOTE: The 3/4”-11.5 NH is a standard hose coupling screw thread. It is not to be confused with 3/4” N.P.T. The sealing of an NH connection is made with a washer opposed to the mating threads of an N.P.T. assembly. The two (2) thread designs are not compatible.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY. It is recommended that a filter or strainer be installed in the water supply line.
