hose over the threaded fitting of the upper
drain hole. Fig.19
NOTE: Make sure the hose is securely fitted to
the upper drain so there are no leaks. Direct
the hose toward the floor drain so that there
are no kinks to stop or interfere with water
flow. Make sure that the end of the hose is
positioned so that water flows into the floor
drain.
