Drain Requirements

See an example image at the bottom of this web page (Reference 1). NOTE: The drain hose is 1 1/2″ ID and 1 7/8″ OD. The drain is gravity-fed, there is no pump on the stainer. The drain rate that must be achieved for proper performance of the stainer is 4GPM. If you plan to place the stainer’s drain hose into a nearby sink basin, please be aware that the risk of a low water flow is high. The gravity-fed drain hose must be at a drop of 2″ for every 12″ of length

Drain Type(Required)

I plan to route the slide stainer’s drain hose to an under-the-counter drain (recommended)

I plan to route the slide stainer’s drain hose in a nearby sink basin (not recommended)

Countertop(Required)

There is access to the under-the-counter drain for the slide stainer’s drain hose to insert

Distance from Drain(Required)

The connection to the drain (or sink basin) is within 5 feet of where the drain connection on slide stainer will be

Water Drain Capacity(Required)

The drain can accommodate up to 4 GPM (gallons per minute)

NOTE: Insufficient drain capacity will result in water backing up in the equipment while in use, negatively impacting the performance of the equipment.

Air Brake(Required)

A 4″ high 4″ diameter air brake reducing down to a 2″ vented line with a trap has been installed

Water Inlet Requirements

NOTE: Water quality varies based on location. The hardness, temperature, pH balance, and sediments of your lab’s water source WILL have an impact on the equipment, as well as your staining quality. A filter may be fitted to the mains water if you wish, as long as it does not affect the water pressure requirement for the equipment.

Water Supply(Required)

There is a 3/4″ GHT (male garden hose fitting) water supply connection within 5 feet of where the slide stainer’s water inlet hookup will be

Water Pressure(Required)

The water inlet pressure is within the acceptable range of: 18 psi to 80 psi

Water Flow(Required)

The water flow is a minimum of 2.1 GPM (gallons per minute)
