Installation

Drain Connection

Figure 15

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.

Figure 15 shows drain line and drain trough configurations.

A flexible connection must be made to a vented or air gap 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, impairing washer- extractor performance.

Refer to Table 3 for capacity-specific drain information.

Installation of additional washer-extractors will require proportionately larger drain connections. Refer to Table 4.
