Anti-Siphon Valve Kit
This kit installs a vacuum break into the drain line, allowing atmospheric pressure to enter the hose. This breaks the continuous column of water and prevents the vacuum effect from pulling water out of the drum during the fill cycle. It is the primary mechanical fix for siphoning issues when the drain standpipe is shorter than the machine's water level.

Drain Hose U-Shape Form
This component ensures the drain hose maintains a rigid 180-degree bend and limits how far the hose can be inserted into the standpipe. By preventing the hose from extending more than 4.5 to 6 inches into the drain pipe, it ensures the end of the hose remains above the P-trap water level, eliminating the submerged-tube condition required for siphoning.

Corrugated Drain Hose Assembly
If the existing hose is damaged or lacks the integrated breather features found in updated OEM designs, a full assembly replacement is required. A new hose ensures proper material rigidity to prevent kinking and maintains the internal diameter necessary for the pump to overcome head pressure without creating a vacuum downstream.
