Washing machine waste into soil pipe.

Farmer Giles · 2010-07-15T16:05:12+00:00

Friends of mine wants to move their washing machine from the kitchen to a small utility room at the rear of the house and have asked me to help them plumb it in. They were under the impression that the waste could be run to a gulley, which is outside, at the rear of this room. The problem is that the gulley is just a surface water drainage gulley - so, therefore, not suitable at all. The kitchen - and its drainage gulley - is on another side of the house, and not really accessable. Next door to this (proposed) utility room is a small cloakroom and WC (no basin or sink with waste, though). It would be comparatively easy to take theWM waste into this cloakroom - and this is what I was thinking of doing. I'm thinking of somehow trying to fit the 40mm waste into the 90deg connector that comes out of the toilet pan and connects into the below ground soil pipe. Anyone know of a suitable fitting to enable me to do this? I know that you can get a 'boss' type fitting to connect to a vertical 110mm soil pipe, but I don't think this is quite the thing. Also, I know that the washing machine waste will need to be connected via a suitable trap, but that can be easily dealt with.

Is there something in your Hosts file? I've a button on Opera's toolbar that fires up FF on the same page and FF loads it as well. Can't try IE as it's blocked in the firewall.

It loads fine on my PC in FF and IE. Sounds like a local problem.
