I've put a compact washing machine in my motorhome, There's a large waste water tank under the floor of the van, and i have used
32mm pipes for all the sinks and shower drains to the tank, using bottle traps to prevent smells.But the washing machine connection is slightly different, i've brought a piece of 32mm pipe up through the floor behind the machine, this is connected to the tank at the otehr end,
To use a bottle trap i'd need to faff about with right angle joints, supporting the bottle trap and so on,
So i was thinking of using one of those pedestal sink traps, i did get one of the sideways S shaped ones, but threw it away when i looked at it closely, and say it's made on a molding machine, and the joins right at the bottom for the 2 halves were so thin you could see daylight through the seam, no way i'm risking that as it'll be kind of hard to get at to replace should it leak, and i dont fancy having 40 litres of water dumped in the van the day the seam gives way.
So i was thinking of the inline type of trap.
They obviousely work, but will they work with a washing machine discharging down one? the total wash cycle water dumped is 42 litres, that's spread over
3 fill and drain cycles, but i'd rather not get one of these to find out the hard way that the washer can't drain fast enough through one of these types of traps.
