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 execution. For example, a washing machine achieves the task, disassembling it into stages, which it performs without the participation and control of a person. If such a technique is common and makes work so easy, then why can one often come across the question of how to install a washing machine under the sink?
The fact is that such a technique, combining many processes in itself, requires connection to various communications, and in this case, such connections need to be made as many as three.
First you need to buy a siphon for a washing machine and a quality extension cord. Then you should install the unit in place of its alleged location. In this case, it is desirable that it is located close to the sewer and water supply. After that, using an extension cord, connect the electricity. This must be done so that the wires do not interfere with the free movement.
Next, you need 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, everything must be done according to the rules for installing sewage points with the organization of a hydraulic shutter. That is why it is best to use a special siphon for the washing machine.
This device is a sewer elbow, which 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 for installing the bath, but instead of a overflow hose, a machine is attached to it.
When making such an installation, it is very important to maintain a certain height of the drain hose. It should not rise above the device itself or bend. This will 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 leaves the knee in the sewer. He should not bend and rise above his hole in the siphon. After making this installation, you should check the strength of all joints and their tightness. To do this, just pour a bucket of water into the sink.
When the siphon for the washing machine is installed, you should do the water supply. 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 on the one hand the same nut with a hose is connected (this will transfer water to the sink mixer), and on the other hand, a special water pipe of the washing machine is attached. When performing this operation, you can not use sealing tape or tow, since both connections have special rubber gaskets that can be replaced with new ones.
