secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is
formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to
prevent waste from the sink entering the
washing machine.

pipework or to pipework that has not been
used for some time, run off a reasonable
amount of water to flush out any debris that
may have collected in the pipes.

NOTE
Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed it is easily accessible for the engineer

In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should
be connected to the FOUL drainage system,
the water will then be taken to a sewage
works for treatment before being discharged
safely into a river. It is essential that these
appliances are not connected to the surface
water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and
may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please
contact your local water authority.
