C Faucet Coupler
The fill and drain hoses of a portable dishwasher terminate in a faucet coupler Most couplers are equipped with bleed
valves to enable the operator to relieve the water pressure in the fill hose by depressing the valve button This prevents
splashing when the coupler is disconnected
D Coupler Repair
Because of the high cost of replacing complete couplers and coupler/hose assemblies, couplers should be repaired
whenever possible See Figure 44 and 4 5for exploded views of 2 faucet couplers and pressure relief valves used in
Sears dishwashers.
