Attaching the hose to the body and positioning the end of the drainage accessory

After removing the accessory from the inside of the machine body, it must be fastened outwards. It's not right to just lower it to the floor. In the complete set of the washing machine, as a rule, there is a hook or a ring. On this mount and you need to hang the drainage component.

The end of the water drain hose can be thrown over the edge of the sink. In this case, the hose should be positioned at a height of approximately 50-90 cm. To bend the end of the drainage accessory, use a plastic holder. This is done so that the drainage element does not tear.

Another option is to place in a branch pipe for drainage in the sink.

3. In the presence of a plastic tip, you need to cut a similar hose into it and put a rubber tip over it. Secure the connection with clamps.
4. To ensure greater reliability, connect the ends of the tubes to each other. Having a drainage component, keep track of the absence of sharp objects that can tear it apart.

He will have to drive the water along an additional plot. In addition, with elongation, there is a junction point. There is also a risk of leakage.
