Should the end of this drain hose have an elbow on it? My installer jammed the drain hose 12 inches down in to my drain pipe. However, I was under the impression there should have been an elbow on the drain hose and it should not be in the drain pipe more than 4 inches deep.

The LG - 4.5 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Ultralarge-Capacity High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer, Model # WM4270H*A comes with a supplied elbow bracket that can be used to secure the drain hose so that it does not slip and cause any flooding. The elbow bracket is supposed to be connected within 4 inches from the end of the drain hose to prevent mold and microorganisms from spreading to the inside of the washer...^IFV
