Instructions say not to use with "stand pipe drains". Does this mean I should only use these if my drain hose routes into a sink versus the wall?

you are correct--it should only empty into a sink-my guess for that is that the filter could potentially come off and get stuck in the pipe! ?? I use a metal clamp that has to be screwed on to tighten down . It works very well.

The manufacturer states do not use in stand up pipe drains. Usually, it's because the pipe is narrow and if the trap gets filled with lint the water draining from your washer will, in fact overflow. I use them in my stand up pipe (in the wall) but I check the trap before each wash to make sure that its not clogged with lint. I have had a couple of overflows, luckily I was near by my washer and stopped it before there was a real mess. The overflows happened as a result of not checking the lint trap previous to doing the wash. I have to use them otherwise there will be more damage to my plumbing, which will be so much more expensive. The manufacturer states do not use in stand up pipe drains.

if you use this on the end of a washer output going into a drain pipe contained in a wall, you would have the Lint Catcher in the pipe. Once the Lint Catcher gets full it would shoot down the pipe and end up lodged in the pipe. I have the drain shooting into a sink and have had the lint catcher shoot off once its full.

I think you could but you must keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't clog up. Also if it is not attached to the pipe tightly it could come off and clog up the pipe.

You would normally use the drain pin. Only time youe need to remove the clear housing is if it's visually dirty.

Yes the Back of pedestal is oped. In order to get the right location of the drain pipe in the wall, Waite to get the product before you do your plumbing the HEIGHT & the distance from the center of the drain to the wall is important since the pipes that comes with it, doesn't have much room for alteration.

Hi, Joan. I would guess that you should be able to reuse a standard pull up drain as long as the pull up style drain fits the drain size opening in the sink and the faucet with the pull up "handle" fits the faucet opening in sink. I purchased a Kraus pop up drain and Kraus faucet for my installation. Good luck. -Jon

I just keep flipping them over when there's gunk in them. They work either way! Especially useful instead of the strainers that come with the sink- that are always blocking the drain. You end up just taking them out and not using anything- bad for the drain! Love these things! Even give them as stocking stuffers.

That is pretty much how I have mine set up. I moved my washer and dryer to the basement and installed a deep sink beside them. I installed a drain pipe running along the wall to behind where I installed the Deep sink up to the washer. When I inserted the Washer hose into the drain pipe I did so with a rubber 2" to 1.5" adapter and used radiator hose clamps to draw the ends tight over the pvc and the washer hose, this prevents any back lash and I have had the pump and washer pushing water both at the same time with no issues at all.

I use it under the drain cover. We have a beveled area, 3 inches in diameter, which connects to the drain pipe. This fits in with a little room to spare, and the nicer drain cover screws down over it. Still have to pull it out every couple weeks to clean off, but better than the really fine mesh baskets which clog up too easily.

From what I can tell there should be no issue - sink drain holes tend to be standard and they are both Kohler. I used this disposal flange with the rubber baffle from the disposer without issue. The gasket is somewhat flow restrictive, but, does keep it all quiet.

Yes, that is exactly how I use mine. My husband drilled several holes through the plastic drain pan it comes with so it wouldn't hold water. I didn't want the metal scratching my sink or leaving rust marks so I place the plastic drainer down first to protect it.

What the previous person said. You can use one or the other at a time, as long as your drain is the right size, but you can't use both together.

Drains were not included. I bought these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RZVPCU/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they worked perfectly.

I bought a garden hose for this purpose only. This way it keeps the hose clean. If you are planning to use a faucet in your home, you can get a connection that will fit the faucet & the hose. I used the faucet in my laundry room sink.

You will need a drain hose. There are universal drain hoses and specific brand and/or models drain hoses you can search for. They also come in difference lengths.

You will either have to use a hose extender if you can find the right connector or buy a longer hose for the drain. I had to set my sink in close proximity to where the water drain from a raised deck.

Should work if you place a/c on a stand so gravity can work. Drain must be open.

I had to use a kitchen pull out faucet with a SINGLE hole. The hose are drilled to accept laundry tub type faucets which are 4 inch on center. Not a lot of choices with that other then using a bathroom type faucet. That does not give you mutch clearance if you was to put a large bucket or something in the sink. So I had to drill a center hole for the faucet I chose. Then I used two faucet hole covers to cover the predrilled holes. Looks pretty good. Also, the sink material is thin. This posed a problem when tightening down the faucet. If you could find a rubber/metal spacer that would fit the faucet shank that would help. Will work even without that, you'll just have to crank down on it. I had to use a kitchen pull out faucet with a SINGLE hole.

I do like the hose but I'm not sure if it works with a portable sink as i us it with a wall mounted sink.
