Fernco Inc PHG-1 Laundry Drain Hose Connector

Product Description

The FERNCO INC PHG-1 is a laundry drain hose connector designed to create a secure, flexible connection between a washing machine drain hose and a residential standpipe. It bridges a 1-1/2 inch to 2 inch standpipe fitting, accommodating the size variation common in residential drain rough-in configurations. The connector allows the drain hose to seat properly without rigid coupling, reducing stress on both the hose and the drain line. Plumbers and service technicians use this fitting during appliance hookups and laundry room rough-in work where a watertight, vibration-tolerant connection is required.

This connector is suited for residential laundry installations where a washing machine drain hose must terminate into a standpipe. It is commonly installed during new construction, appliance replacement, or drain line service calls. The flexible design accommodates slight misalignment between the drain hose outlet and the standpipe centerline, which is typical in production homebuilding where standpipe placement varies. No rigid adapter fittings or solvent cementing are required for installation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation connector for residential washing machine drain hose connections to 1-1/2 inch to 2 inch standpipes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified appliance installer. Shut off the water supply to the washing machine and disconnect power before servicing the drain line. Ensure the standpipe is clear of debris and that the hose is fully seated in the connector before operating the appliance. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines, for standpipe height and drain hose insertion depth.
