Modern household appliances greatly facilitate the life of a person. She almost completely takes on this or that task, being fully responsible for all the processes of its implementation. For example, a washing machine achieves a task by breaking it down into stages, which it performs without human participation and control. If such a technique is common and makes work so easy, then why can one often meet the question of how to install a washing machine under the sink?
The fact is that such a technique, combining many processes, requires connection to various communications, and in this case, it is necessary to make as many as three such connections.
First you need to purchase a siphon for a washing machine and a quality extension cord. Then you should install the unit at the place of its alleged location. At the same time, it is desirable that it be located close to the sewer drain and water supply. After that, using an extension cord, you should connect the electricity. This must be done in such a way that the wires do not interfere with free movement.
Nextit is necessary to connect the drain of the washing machine to the sewer. For these purposes, the device has a special corrugated hose, which must be connected to the drain system. In this case, it is necessary to do everything according to the rules for installing sewer points with the organization of a hydraulic seal. That is why it is best to use a special siphon for the washing machine.
This device is a sewer elbow that is installed on the drain in the sink. At the same time, there is a special hole in it for connecting the hose of the washing machine. Such a siphon is very similar to the one used to install a bathtub, but instead of an overflow hose, a machine is attached to it.
When making this installation, it is very important to maintain a certain height of the drain hose. It should not rise above the device itself or bend over. This will greatly overload the water pump of the device, which will lead to breakage. It is also worth noting that the siphon for the washing machine also has a corrugated hose that extends from the knee into the sewer drain. It should not bend and rise above its opening in the siphon. After such installation, the strength of all connections and their tightness should be checked. To do this, just pour a bucket of water into the sink.
When the siphon for the washing machine is installed, you should take care of the plumbing. To do this, unscrew the nut together with the cold water hose from the pipe. In its place, a special tee is attached, to which withon one side, the same nut with a hose is attached (this is how water will be transferred to the sink mixer), and on the other side, a special plumbing of the washing machine is attached. When performing this operation, you do not need to use sealing tape or tow, since both connections have special rubber gaskets that can be replaced with new ones.
