Connecting to a drainage network
Connecting an installation to a sewer network is not always easy, as it may seem at the outset. It can be done either by a temporary scheme, or by a fixed connection. The time schedule has these rules:
- The outlet branch pipe must be connected to the outlet hose.
- Must be fixed on the sink or sides of the bathroom.
For stationary connection, the following methods are used:
- The hose length can be different, but its basic value must be in the permitted sizes. More often about such characteristics is told in the attached instruction.
- It is necessary to use drainage siphons with non-return valves to properly connect the drain. Such a design is necessary for not getting a dirty plum.
At some points, the connecting hose should be longer, but it must be remembered that this all comes from the strength of your pumping unit. Namely, proceeding from this, in all the instruction on the connection, the characteristics of the length of the sleeve are written.
The hose connection must occur at a height of 80 centimeters to the rear of the unit, and the other end to the drainage networks. For example, kitchen, or bathroom, through a siphon, which has a bending hose. It is recommended to make an air gap so that when the installation is running, there is no system malfunction. The clearance height should be above the water lifting level to avoid flooding the room.
Connection to the plumbing network
The connection scheme of the washing machine to the sewage system was considered earlier, now it is advisable to consider how to properly connect to the water supply networks. Installation can take place by plunging into the pipe. The length of the hose may increase, if necessary. To make this connection, it is necessary:
- An infeed is made into the cold pipe system. This method is considered the best, for it it will be necessary to block the water in the riser and call special people for installation.
- A valve should be installed that will cover the water after each washing process.
- It is necessary to design a protective filter that goes after the valve. With its help, the machine will be less polluted by all sorts of unnecessary particles. It should be periodically cleaned of dirt, as well as it is presented in the form of a mesh.
Installing a drainage crane for a washing machine
This unit can be connected to a water supply system by connecting an underwater hose to the drain cock of a bathtub or washbasin. To do this, you need a long hose, with which one part to join the tap. This method takes very little time to connect, and also gives a guarantee in the absence of leaking machine.
A very large number of washing machines have an * Aqua-stop * system, with which water does not enter the switched off installation. With this system, the hose at its ends has electromagnetic valves in place. They have the connection wires that control, and also it must be wrapped in a flexible casing. If the machine is switched off, the valve closes and water does not flow.
Connecting to electrical networks
To be able to connect to the power grid successfully, follow this step-by-step instruction:
- Establish a three-pass outlet.
- It is necessary to install a ground or ground bus in the distribution panel.
- Isolation of a grounded bus.
- If the installation has a short wire, an adapter is required, also with grounding.
- A grounded cable is never connected to gas, water and heating systems.
In some apartments there are sockets for connection of electric cookers. These outlets already have a ground connection, and you can safely connect a washing machine to them. The most correct connection of the installation to the power grids is still the acquisition of a three-phase socket, which is carried out from the shield itself.
The placement of the cable can be either hidden behind the wall or made external. The shield should have a current of 15-30 amperes, and the submarine cable must have an individual automatic system. It is recommended to consult specialists if there is no skill or special training for working with electricity.
