5. Installation Instructions

Tools Recommended: Adjustable wrench or pliers, bucket, cloth.

1. Preparation: Ensure the water supply to the fixture is turned off. Place a bucket under the existing drain connection to catch any residual water.
2. Remove Old Drain: Carefully disconnect the existing drain hose or pipe from both the sink waste and the wall/floor drain connection.
3. Inspect Connections: Clean the connection points on the sink waste and the wall/floor drain to ensure they are free of debris and old sealant.
4. Attach to Sink Waste: Connect one end of the flexible drain hose to the sink waste outlet. Ensure a sealing washer is correctly seated within the nut. Hand-tighten the nut, then use an adjustable wrench for a final quarter-turn to ensure a snug, leak-free seal. Do not overtighten.
5. Route and Connect to Wall/Floor Drain: Gently bend and route the flexible hose to the wall or floor drain connection. Connect the other end of the hose, ensuring a sealing washer is in place. Hand-tighten, then use an adjustable wrench for a final quarter-turn.
6. Check for Leaks: Once both ends are securely connected, slowly turn on the main water supply. Run water through the sink and carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections slightly if necessary, but avoid excessive force.

6. Operation

Once installed, the CORNAT T317607 flexible drain hose operates passively as part of your plumbing system, allowing wastewater to flow from your fixture to the main drainage. Ensure that the hose is not kinked or obstructed, as this can impede drainage.

7. Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the drain hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks, especially around the connection points.
• Cleaning: If the exterior of the hose becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the chrome finish and plastic material.
• Preventing Clogs: To prevent blockages, avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, or other solid waste down the drain. Consider using a drain strainer in your sink.

8. Troubleshooting

• Leakage at Connections:
  • Ensure sealing washers are correctly seated and not damaged.
  • Gently tighten the connection nuts with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
  • If leaks persist, replace the sealing washer.
• Slow Drainage or Clog:
  • Check if the hose is kinked or bent sharply, restricting flow.
  • If the clog is within the hose, it may need to be disconnected and cleaned. Use a plumbing snake or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water (avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can damage plastic).
  • Ensure the main drain line is not clogged.
• Hose Damage:
  • If the hose itself is cracked or damaged, it must be replaced immediately to prevent water damage.
