	Central portion Stripping drilled hole 10 mm in diameter. For this, first via deflector envisage place then drilled hole of a small diameter and then reams to its larger size. Under the pipe is substituted for the capacity of water remaining within the pipeline.
	On the outer side coupling part is inserted into the sleeve.
	On the inside of the sleeve is worn on the gasket.
	Install the coupling half into place by aligning the sleeve with a hole

Photo	Description of work
	Cooking vessel whose volume is greater than 50 liters.
	Acquire pump pressure sensor, The performance of which will be sufficient water supply.

Drain connection of the washing machine to the sewer

There are several ways to connect the washing machine drain to the sewer. Consider the features of each to make it easier to choose the appropriate option.

Draining water from the washing machine via a siphon

If the washing machine is installed near the sink, drain water can be performed by a siphon. The latter should have a structure that allows the connection of equipment. To ensure water drainage, put on drainage hose to the washing machine at the siphon.

Draining through a sewer pipe

to implement draining down the drain in this way should be found in the instructions, the height at which should be the end of the drain hose to the washing machine to work properly. Different models, this value may vary. On average, it should be at a height of 0.5-0.6 cm from the floor. If the hose end positioned below the level specified by the manufacturer of the unit, a washing machine will continuously recruit and drained and the washing process is significantly delayed (a siphon effect).

In practice, to achieve the desired position can be difficult. Especially if the appliances will be installed in bathroom. Rectify the situation helps a check valve for a washing machine to drain. It is connected as follows:

Photo	Description of work
	To one end of the valve connects the drain hose washing machine.
