Varieties of siphons for washing machine

In the case where you decide to installing cars in the bathroom, while disguising it as a special sink, do not forget to install such a detail as a siphon for a washing machine. Without installing a siphon, you will not be able to organize the discharge of water and connect the machine machine to the drainage system.

Main functions

Every home owner understands that the siphon is indispensable for ensuring the discharge of dirty water from the sink, automatic machine, dishwasher equipment and other household appliances into the drainage system.This, undoubtedly, is the main function of this sanitary part. However, it is worth noting that in addition to this, the siphon successfully copes with several more tasks.

1. Properly mounted siphon becomes an excellent obstacle for sharp odors, which quite often penetrate from the drainage system into the kitchen.
2. This device is assembled in such a way that a huge amount of various debris lags in it, which could easily create a blockage in the sewer pipe. Removing this debris from the internal parts of the siphon does not take much time: it is enough to remove the drive and thoroughly rinse it in a special container. With a blockage in the drain pipe will have to be carried much longer.
3. The siphon diverter is designed in such a way that it occupies a special, curved position - this is provided for the connection drain hose machines with a special bend. Connecting to the bend removes the load from the pump of the washing machine and protects against the formation of a siphon effect.

Different siphon options

The modern market is able to provide a wide range of different models, the difference between which from each other can be:

• the size;
• the presence of multiple taps;
• case design;
• installation method;

Look for a model that will cope not only with the establishment of a drainage system and connecting to the drainage system, but it will not interfere with the placement of the machine body of the machine. Often this device can be made in the most bizarre form.

The standard device is installed directly under the sink and requires very little space. That is why, deciding to install the machine right under the sink, be prepared to solve possible difficulties. Let us find out what are the most popular siphons that are suitable for this situation.

Normal diverter

This detail does not have any specific differences from the already familiar to all the siphon under the sink. Its only improvement is the lateral branch intended for connection with the hose of the drain system of the automatic machine.

This model is quite common among consumers, in a situation like ours, it will be inappropriate. The use of devices of this type makes sense only if the sink has a specially designed tabletop, but this also presents certain difficulties.

Ramified

The simplest plumbing device that helps to provide multiple connections to drainage. Such a device includes a plastic tee, one of the branches of which is connected to the sewer system, and the rest are equipped with special ribbed hoses. One of the hoses is connected to the machine with an automatic machine, and the second with a sink sink.

Wall recessed

The most ergonomic of all submitted samples. The main part of such a device is simply embedded in the wall surface near the drainage pipes. Outside, there remains only a small detail of the outer casing and branches for connection to the hoses of the machine. Also, this model is connected to the sink sink. Typically, such devices have one outlet, but there are various modifications that include two or three.

With check valve

Devices of this type were developed quite recently, but rather quickly occupied their niche and gained the respect of specialists. The main advantage of this model is a protective system that prevents the penetration of wastewater back into the washing machine, and also does not allow them to climb the sink drain and clog it.This detail is especially loved by the residents of the lower floors in apartment buildings. More information about the operation of the check valve can be found here.

Flat

This device is specially created for cases when the case of the washing machine is placed exactly under the sink and takes up all the free space. The device is ideally placed in a small space between the top panel of the machine and the sink. Devices of this type have earned their popularity by ease of installation and ergonomic case. Increasingly, experts began to turn to this option.

The nuances of editing

Installing a washbasin directly above the household appliance is troublesome. It can rely on a sink or a special tabletop, which is mounted in the wall with special fixings. To select a suitable siphon and install it later, you need to know the supposed placement of the machine relative to the sink.

The machine is located exactly under the sink

Feel free to install a flat-type siphon or device installed inside the wall. Connect the plastic siphon to the washbasin drain system.Connect a ribbed hose to one discharge valve, the other side of which should already be filled into the drain pipe. Connect the second branch to washing machine hose. Be sure to fasten it with a clamp for reliability.

Estimated location right or left

In this case, you can use any type of siphon. The main thing that he had a withdrawal under typewriter machine. It is worth noting that in this case the space under the sink will not work to close the decorative panel. Siphon in this case may not fit into the interior of the room. A model embedded in a wall can help in this situation.

The machine is installed in a special countertop

The most preferred option, since in this case there is enough space under the sink to install a siphon of any model. Feel free to choose a device that fits into the design of the room. But remember, in this configuration, the washing machine is quite far from the sink. The length of the hose provided in the kit may not be sufficient for successful connection to the siphon. Most likely, you will have to purchase an additional hose and replace it with a regular one.

In conclusion, I would like to note that the installation of any of the above models does not take much time. Installing a siphon does not require special technical knowledge or the use of complex tools. It is much more important to choose the right part for your sink. Carefully follow these tips and be able to make a good choice.
