4. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the Xavax Angled Siphon Connector:
- Prepare the Wall Siphon: Ensure the wall siphon connection point is clean and free from debris.
- Insert the Gasket: Place the provided gasket into the threaded end of the angled siphon connector. This gasket ensures a watertight seal.

- Attach to Wall Siphon: Screw the angled siphon connector onto the threaded outlet of your built-in wall siphon. Hand-tighten first, then use a suitable wrench if necessary, being careful not to overtighten and damage the plastic threads.
- Connect the Drain Hose: Slide the hose clamp over the end of your washing machine or dishwasher drain hose. Then, push the drain hose firmly onto the conical spout of the angled connector. The conical design accommodates various hose diameters (20mm, 23mm, 3/4 inch).

- Secure the Hose: Position the hose clamp over the drain hose where it connects to the spout and tighten it securely with a screwdriver to prevent leaks.
- Install the Rosette: If desired, place the plastic rosette over the connection point against the wall for a neat finish.

Important: Ensure all connections are tight to prevent water leaks. Run a test cycle on your appliance and check for any drips or moisture around the connection points.
5. Operation
Once installed, the Xavax Angled Siphon Connector operates passively by providing a secure and kink-free pathway for wastewater from your appliance to the wall siphon. No further user interaction is required for its basic function.
Ensure that the drain hose is not obstructed or pinched at any point between the appliance and the connector to maintain proper drainage.
6. Maintenance
The Xavax Angled Siphon Connector requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity and proper function:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the connector and hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks.
- Cleaning: If necessary, clean the exterior of the connector with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic.
- Gasket Check: Over time, gaskets can degrade. If you notice any leaks from the threaded connection, inspect the gasket and replace it if it appears worn or damaged.
- Hose Clamp Tightness: Ensure the hose clamp remains tight. If the hose feels loose or leaks, re-tighten the clamp.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Xavax Angled Siphon Connector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leak at the wall siphon connection | Loose connection, damaged gasket, or missing gasket. | Ensure the connector is tightly screwed onto the wall siphon. Check if the gasket is properly seated and undamaged. Replace the gasket if necessary. |
| Water leak at the drain hose connection | Loose hose clamp, improperly seated hose, or damaged hose. | Tighten the hose clamp. Ensure the drain hose is fully pushed onto the conical spout. Inspect the drain hose for cracks or damage and replace if found. |
| Slow or no drainage | Kinked drain hose, blockage in the hose or siphon, or improper installation. | Check the entire length of the drain hose for kinks or obstructions. Ensure the connector is not restricting flow. If the problem persists, the blockage might be in the wall siphon itself. |
