Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Drainado fit a 1-1/2" vacuum hose?

No, 1-1/2" vacuum hoses are the least common and most vacuums sold today come with an adapter to change the hose sizes.

Does the Drainado work with 1/2" PVC pipes?

Unfortunately it does not unless you buy a $0.31 3/4" x 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC Reducer Bushing. This fits directly inside the Drainado then it will connect to 1/2" PVC pipes.

Some people use bleach, vinegar, pan tabs, and other chemicals to maintain their drain lines. Can the Drainado handle these said chemicals?

Absolutely!

I have a vacuum hose with a tapered end. Does the Drainado work with this type of vacuum hose end?

Yes, most vacuum hoses can simply be flipped around so the flat end that normally fits into vacuum port and the tapered end will slide into vacuum port instead.

Will it work with different thickness of PVC such as Schedule 40 & 80?

Yes, Schedule 40 & 80 PVC pipes have the same outside diameter. Since the Drainado fits over the outside diameter of each pipe, it will work for both schedules.
