22 INSTALLATION Connecting the Inlet Hose The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not reuse old hoses. NOTE • Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (138-827 kPa). • Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting the inlet hose to the valve. • If the water supply pressure is more than 120 psi (827 kPa), a pressure reducing valve must be installed. • Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary. • Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. • Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference. 1. Check the rubber seal in the inlet hose. Two rubber seals are supplied with each inlet hose. They are used for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to the cold water tap is tight.

Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses and that they are not crushed. 2. Check the installation type. Rubber seal Y connector Short hose Long hose Y connector WITH WASHER WITHOUT WASHER Connect all water supply hoses tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. WITH WASHER: When connecting the dryer to the same faucet as a washer. a. Shut off the cold water tap and remove the washer hose. b. Connect the short hose to the Y-connector using one of the rubber seals. c. Connect the other end of the short hose to the cold water faucet. d. C onnect the long dryer hose to one side of theY-connector and connect the washer hose to the other side. WITHOUT WASHER: If the dryer does not share the cold water tap with a washer. a. C onnect the straight end of the long hose to the cold water faucet. NOTE • Before connecting the water line to the dryer, flush several gallons of water into a drain or bucket. This will help prevent foreign particles such as sand and scale from clogging the dryer inlet valve. • Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result. 4. Turn on the cold water faucet. 5. C heck for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and in all hoses. NOTE • If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet, remove the hose and check the condition of the rubber seals.

Connect all water supply hoses tightly by hand and
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
WITH WASHER: When connecting the dryer to the
same faucet as a washer.
a.
Shut off the cold water tap and remove the washer hose.
b. Connect the short hose to the Y-connector using one
of the rubber seals.
c. Connect the other end of the short hose to the cold
water faucet.
d.
Connect the long dryer hose to one side of theY-connector
and connect the washer hose to the other side.
WITHOUT WASHER: If the dryer does not share the
cold water tap with a washer.
a. Connect the straight end of the long hose to the cold
water faucet.

The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not reuse old hoses.
3. Connect the hose to the dryer.
•
Connect the water supply hose to the dryer inlet valve
tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with
pliers.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses and that
they are not crushed.
4. Turn on the cold water faucet.
5. Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and in all
hoses.
NOTE
• If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet,
remove the hose and check the condition of the
