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 8 and 9 show drain line and drain trough configurations.

Figure 8

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.

Installation

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.

Installation of additional washer-extractors will require proportionately larger drain connections. See the Cabinet Freestanding Drain Line Sizing table in this subsection.
