Manual drain connection: Will fit 1/8-27 and 1/8-28 pipe thread.
Automatic drain connection: Will fit 1/8-27 and 1/8-28 pipe thread. - Flexible tube

with 3/16" (5mm) minimum I.D. can be connected to the automatic drain. Drain
may fail to operate if the tube I.D. is less than 3/16" (5mm). Avoid restrictions in
the tube.
