This standpipe nut secures the washer drain standpipe or tub outlet fitting to the drain assembly, preventing leaks and keeping the drain connection stable. Simple replacement restores a proper sealed drain connection. What it does:
- Threads onto the standpipe or drain outlet to hold the drain tube or fitting in place
- Creates a tight connection to help prevent water leaks at the drain junction
- Restores proper alignment and stability of the drain hose or standpipe assembly
- Common fix for leaking or loose drain connections around the washer drain area
What's included: One standpipe nut. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and water supply before working on the drain or pump area
- Inspect mating threads and any gaskets; replace damaged seals as needed for a proper seal
- Thread the nut by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug with appropriate tool—do not overtighten
- Test for leaks after reassembly by running a short drain cycle
