This Washer Drain Hose measures 8'L and drains the water properly during your appliance's rinse cycle. The hose is designed to be used with many major brands; check to see if your model number is compatible. Note that this accessory will be needed if more than the standard distance exists between your washer and the drain. The hose includes a 1-1/2" D clamp, but the hose itself is 1-1/4" diameter – you may also need to order a 1-1/4" clamp separately. Installing this accessory will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off the hot and cold water supplies. We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
