My daughter bought her first home (a condo) that has strict guidelines for washing machines. They specify a discharge rate of 6 GPM for less. She bought a Inglis IFR42001 machine that states in the manual ...
"The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 4.2 gal. (15.9 L) per minute. A 2" (5 cm) diameter to 1" (2.5 cm) diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "Tools and Parts."
They refused the unit after she bought and installed it, and are threatening a severe fine and the unit must be removed. They indicated the standpipe size in this older condo in 1.5", and the unit does not conform.
We cannot get the exact discharge rate from Inglis (or anybody else). Does it make sense that a 4.2 would be OK for a 2" and not meet the 6.2 for a 1.5" system?
Help please, anybody!!! multiple emails to the condo board are getting nowhere.
