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. Figure 17 and Figure 18 show
drain line and drain trough configurations.
Figure 17
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.
NOTE: Cabinet freestanding models equipped with
tilt option require flexible drain hose connection of
adequate length to allow for the tilting action of the
washer-extractor.
Figure 18
Refer to Table 3 for capacity-specific drain
information.
Installation of additional washer-extractors will
require proportionately larger drain connections. Refer
to Table 4.
