Today no one mistress manages without her most principal mate - washing machine.
Therefore it is important that it operates trouble-free.
In this article we will study how to connect a washing machine to the drain by ourselves without resorting to expert services.
What is a threat of the incorrect connection of this device to the water supply system and to the drain? Lots of troubles including: flood in one's flat and a flat on the floor below, operating troubles and even a damage of the machine.
To avoid this, the experts recommend not hurrying up with the installation of a washing machine, but to study all rules of its connection to the water supply system and to the drain.
Please read the manual after purchasing a washer.
Before starting the installation it needs unpacking and removing all parts, which fixed all rotating components of the machine in inactive state, keeping them from damages while transportation.
To assure operating position of a washing machine it needs connecting to communication systems: the water supply system (to provide with water for washing) and the drain (to ensure dirty water discharge).
How to connect correctly a dishwasher to the drain? The connection of a dishwasher to the drain can be done by two methods.
First method It can be done in the case when a dishwasher is installed near a kitchen sink.
In this case the discharge from a dishwasher should be connected directly to the bottom gate of the sink.
You would need a special flushing valve which has the additional branch pipes for the drain.
There are valves with one or two leads-in for the water drain in shops.
Second method Wastewaters drain setup - from a dishwasher direct to the sewer effluent pipeline.
Reminder: the outlet of a machine is not to be lower than 40cm from the level position of the machine.
This measure excludes wastewater and sewage effluent 'suction'.
What to do if the sewer lever in a flat is lower than necessary 40cm? The experts recommend bending the drain hose pipe at its sewage input (same as when installing a washing machine).
The connection of a dishwasher to the drain can be performed simultaneously with the connection of the device to the discharge pipe.
For doing so the experts recommend to fix check valves in two outlets.
These valves protect the dishwashers and washing machines from dirty water coming in.
We hope that our recommendations would help to perform all necessary actions, and you will connect your device without resorting to professionals.
