ABSTRACT:
A drain system for adapting the drain/extraction plumbing of a front-loading washing machine which includes an agitator drum mounted for rotation about a generally horizontal axis, means for driving the drum in rotation about the axis during the various cycles of the machine, and a drain pipe extending downward from the agitator drum and disposed to convey a water/suds mixture vacated from the agitator drum away from the drum. The system includes a conduit into which the water/suds mixture is conveyed from the drain pipe. The conduit is oriented generally horizontally with a first end of the conduit intersecting, and being in fluid communication with, the distal end of the drain pipe. The water/suds mixture, as it is channeled through the conduit, separates into a water component and a suds component floating on the water component. The system includes a water scavenger line and a suds duct, both of which diverge and extend from the second end of the conduit. A baffle is interposed in the system to occlude an upper portion of the water scavenger line so as to permit the water component of the mixture to enter the water scavenger line yet divert the suds component of the mixture into the suds duct.
