Syphon Break Elbow Kit with Clamp

I looked up the video on YouTube. It was extremely helpful. I am just not a handy guy, never got the lessons growing up I suppose.

My only suggestion: older drain hoses are larger than what new elbows fit down to-- make sure your ... Read more hose fits the new elbow correctly (or get a new one that does apx. $10)...otherwise, it'll blow off when the washer drains!
