Whirlpool RUD0800EB Dishwasher User Manual


 
l
If you connect to a sink drain, using the “Y” Branch Tailpiece and Connector Kit, available at plumbing and
hardware stores, will make this connection easier. The kit includes all of the necessary fittings and
complete installation instructions.
l
If you connect to a disposer, use the larger end of the corrugated hose which has been designed to fit the
disposer without any special connectors (see inset of Figure 9).
NOTE: Be sure to remove the knockout plug from inside the disposer inlet fitting before attaching the
drain hose.
If the drain hose is to be routed through the floor to a separate trap, the trap must be vented to prevent
siphoning. To provide proper venting, install the Air Gap Kit, available at plumbing and hardware stores, into
the countertop. Route the drain hose up to the inlet side of the air gap. Continue drain line from outlet side of
air gap down through floor to separate trap (see Figure 70).
Do not cut the corrugated drain hose. Excess corrugated hose should be placed flat on the floor in the
dishwasher cabinet. Make sure the hose does not come into contact with any sharp edges.
