See the "Alternate Parts" section. 6. Place drain hose in standpipe For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See "Tools and Parts." It is the responsibility of the installer to install and secure the drain hose into the provided plumbing/drain in a manner that will avoid the drain hose coming out of and leaking from the plumbing/drain. Connect Inlet Hoses Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses. NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (not provided). 8. Connect inlet hoses to water faucets IMPORTANT: 4.5″ (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used. Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten hose or use tape or sealants on valve. Damage to the valves can result. Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use adjustable pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn.
