The FloPlast Overflow & Waste Hose Connector is engineered for efficient and hygienic wastewater management in your home. Its primary function is to create a secure link between appliance waste hoses (such as from a washing machine or dishwasher) and your existing domestic waste plumbing system. The high-temperature polypropylene construction ensures it can safely handle hot water discharged from appliances without degradation.
In a real-world scenario, you would connect your appliance's flexible waste hose to one inlet of the connector. The other end, featuring compression type outlets, then connects directly to either a 32mm (1 1/4") or 40mm (1 1/2") plastic or copper waste pipe. The compression fittings allow for a strong, mechanical seal, minimizing the risk of leaks and ensuring that wastewater is safely carried away, preventing potential damage or unsanitary conditions. This simple yet crucial component helps maintain a clean and functional utility area.
Identify Pipe Size: Before beginning, measure your existing waste pipe to ensure it is either 32mm (1 1/4") or 40mm (1 1/2"). Also, confirm your appliance waste hose size.
Prepare Pipes: Ensure the ends of your waste pipes are cut cleanly and are free of burrs or rough edges. This is crucial for a watertight seal.
Position Seals: Insert the appropriate rubber or plastic seals into the compression nuts and slide them onto the waste pipe ends.
Connect: Push the waste pipe ends fully into the connector's compression outlets. Connect your appliance waste hose securely to the designated inlet on the connector.
Tighten Connections: Hand-tighten all compression nuts initially. Then, using an adjustable wrench, tighten them an additional quarter to half turn until a firm, leak-free connection is achieved. Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the seals or plastic components.
Waste Pipes: Compatible with both plastic and copper waste pipes.
Pipe Diameters: Specifically designed for 32mm (1 1/4") and 40mm (1 1/2") pipe diameters.
Appliances: Ideal for connecting waste hoses from dishwashers and washing machines.
Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks, drips, or wear.
Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the connector with a damp cloth and mild household cleaner if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.
Damage Check: If you notice any cracks, deformation, or significant wear, the connector should be replaced to prevent leaks.
