Finish by Trimming Zip Tie

What happens here

Once the zip tie is securely tightened around both the drain hose and the supply line, grab a pair of snips or strong scissors. Carefully position the cutting blades close to the locking mechanism of the zip tie. Snip off the excess plastic tail of the zip tie. This step ensures a clean, neat appearance and, more importantly, removes any sharp edges that could snag on clothing, scratch a user, or potentially damage other components in the tight laundry space.

Goal: Create a clean and safe finish
