Compatibility & Fitment

• Hose Types:Fits standard corrugated and smooth discharge hoses up to 2 inches in diameter.
• Machine Types:Compatible with all top-load and front-load washers including brands like Whirlpool, Kenmore, LG, Samsung, GE, and Maytag.
• Usage Note:These are intended for machines that drain into a sink; they arenotfor use with hoses that drain directly into a wall standpipe unless specifically permitted by local plumbing codes.

When to Replace

• Visible Buildup:The mesh is completely covered in lint or debris, which can restrict water flow and cause a backup.
• Slow Drainage:Water takes longer to exit the hose, or the laundry tub fills up faster than usual.
• Heavy Soiling:After washing high-lint items such as towels, rugs, or blankets.
• Regular Maintenance:For an average family, the trap should typically be replaced every 1 to 2 weeks to maintain optimal pump performance.

Installation Tips

• Positioning:Slide the mesh trap over the end of the washing machine discharge hose, ensuring at least 2 inches of the hose is covered.
• Securing:Wrap the included cable tie around the mesh-covered portion of the hose and pull tight to prevent the trap from blowing off during high-pressure discharge.
• Drainage Gap:Ensure the end of the trap is suspended above the bottom of the sink to allow for unrestricted water flow.
• Avoid Blockages:Never leave a fully clogged trap on the hose, as the resulting backpressure can damage the washing machine's drain pump.
• Safety Check:Periodically check that the cable tie remains tight and the mesh hasn't developed holes from sharp debris.
