How to Connect an Upward Drain Washing Machine to a Floor Drain

There are many types of washing machines on the market. According to the drainage mode, they can be divided into upper drainage washing machines and lower drainage washing machines. Upper drainage washing machines usually cannot be connected directly to the floor drain. In this article, we will briefly introduce how to connect an upper drainage washing machine to a floor drain.

How to Connect an Upper Drainage Washing Machine to a Floor Drain

The drainage pipe of a washing machine cannot be installed horizontally into a floor drain because the upper drainage washing machine uses a drainage pump for discharge, and its drainage outlet is located at the top of the washing machine. To connect the drainage pipe to the floor drain, you can use a clamp to secure the drainage pipe at the back of the washing machine. Ensure that the drainage pipe is approximately 80 cm above the ground; otherwise, the washing machine may not operate correctly. Finally, connect the washing machine's drainage pipe to the floor drain.

Types of Washing Machines

Washing machines can be mainly divided into different types: pulsator washing machines, drum washing machines, agitator washing machines, spray flow washing machines, and twin-tub washing machines. Among them, the agitator washing machine has the strongest cleaning power; however, the clothes tend to tangle together, leading to higher wear and tear on garments, along with increased operating noise.

Drum washing machines offer various functions, including sterilization and drying, making them very smart and convenient. They have lower fabric wear rates and are more water-efficient, taking up less indoor space. However, drum washing machines are more expensive, inconvenient to repair, and consume more time and electricity. Pulsator washing machines are easy to operate and provide high cleaning power, making them user-friendly and easy to repair. Additionally, they are relatively affordable. While pulsator washing machines save electricity, they tend to use more water, and the wear rate on clothes is higher.

In summary：we have briefly introduced how to connect an upper drainage washing machine to a floor drain. I hope that after reading this article, you have a better understanding of it. Please remember that the drainage pipe of the upper drainage washing machine should not be directly inserted into the floor drain; it needs to be raised first before being inserted into the floor drain.
