Drain Connection Requirements

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 10 and Figure 11 show

drain line and drain trough configurations.

Figure 10

A flexible connection must be made to a vented drain

system to prevent an air lock and to prevent siphoning.

IMPORTANT: Washer-extractor must be installed

in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

IMPORTANT: The top of the vent must be 1 foot

(30.48 cm) lower than the bottom of the dispenser.

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.
