Gravity Drain
A Gravity Drain may be used if:
• Drain line has at least a 1-inch drop per 48 inches of
run (1/4 inch per foot).
• Drain line does not create traps or created traps are
vented (Figure 3).
Figure 3
See Figure 4 for a typical Gravity Drain installation.
If using a Gravity Drain:
1. Slide 2 hose clamps onto the drain connection on the
rear of the appliance.
2. Insert the barbed fitting halfway into this connection.
3. On the other end of this barbed fitting attach the 5/8”
braided tubing.
4. Slide a clamp on each side of the barbed fitting as
shown (Figure 5).
5. Insulate the drain line, if necessary to prevent
condensation. Go on to Final Water/Drain Connection
