FAQs

What is the primary function of the McAlpine V33WM Twin Connector?

It's designed to connect two appliance discharge hoses (like from a washing machine and dishwasher) into a single standpipe trap for efficient wastewater disposal.

Can I use this connector with only one appliance?

Yes, it includes a removable blanking cap to seal one of the inlets if you're only connecting a single discharge hose.

What size connections does the connector have?

It features two 1.1/2" connections for the discharge hoses and a 1.1/2" inlet for the standpipe trap.

Why is upright installation required?

The connector has a breather hole that requires it to be installed upright for it to function correctly.

What materials is the connector made from?

It is constructed from high-quality materials to ensure durability and resistance to wear and tear.

How do I maintain the twin connector?

Regularly inspect for leaks and clean to prevent buildup.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the connections.

Check and tighten all connections. Ensure the hose clamps are secure and that the fittings are properly seated. Replace any worn seals or connectors.

Slow drainage from appliances.

Check for any blockages in the discharge hoses, the twin connector, or the standpipe trap. Clean the connector and hoses as needed.

The appliance is not draining at all.

Make sure that the air break is working and that the appliance is installed according to the appliance manufacturers instructions.
