Suction connection LF 3160042

A suction connection draws water from the main supply into a professional dishwasher, ensuring a steady flow for rinsing and washing cycles. The unit attaches to the inlet of the machine, where a pump pulls water through the hose and into the wash tank. This method prevents air locks and maintains consistent pressure, which is critical for even coverage and effective cleaning of large volumes of dishes, glassware or utensils.

To install, the operator connects one end of the hose to the dishwasher's inlet port and the other to the water supply tap. Once the tap is opened, water flows through the connection and fills the machine's tank, ready for the wash programme to begin. The connection remains in place during operation, allowing the dishwasher to draw water as needed for each cycle.

The LF suction connection is constructed to withstand the demands of a commercial kitchen. It fits a range of professional dishwashers and hood-type models from AFI, EUROSYSTEM, HILTA, IME OMNIWASH, NOSEM, SAB ITALIA and SOTAL. This compatibility ensures the connection can be used across different makes without modification, provided the inlet size matches.

Cleaning and maintenance are minimal. After each service period, the operator should inspect the hose for signs of wear or kinks that could restrict flow. If the connection shows damage, it should be replaced to prevent leaks or pressure loss during operation.

This component is listed in the catalogue under dishwasher accessories, where it serves as a direct replacement for worn or damaged suction hoses on specified models.
