washers on pedestals and drain hosel

[Boman]

Jeff, any modifications to the drain pipe needed when replacing a top loading washer with a front loading washer?

I'm assuming the siphoning thing may not be as big a concern?

Then again, it may be with certain washers?

Not normally any changes are needed, water level is often so low in a front load washer we have little problems with siphoning.
Once in a while we get someone laying the drain hose on the floor to drain in the floor drain and the water siphons out.
