Drain Connection — Standpipe
- 1. Your washing machine will probably have been supplied with a Hose Support Crook to help suspend the waste pipe on a wall at the required height. Attach this to your waste pipe before fixing it to the wall.
- 2.
The waste pipe needs to be elevated to a height of between 65cm and 100cm, this allows the waste water to drain away more efficiently and stop water being let back into the machine.
- 3.
Push the hose down into the standpipe, making sure that it cannot touch the bottom of the standpipe.
- 4.
If the waste pipe does touch the bottom it may or cause the drain to leak or overflow or your machine may not drain waste water away efficiently.
