Just a thought,
do I still need a u-bend if I don't have a washing machine ?
The kit I brought from B&Q seems to indicate that I don't need one.
Is a u-bend still required for sink without washing machine?

Yes. You'll find it difficult to connect the pipework without one.
Thanks again Nigel.
That's twice in 1 day you've helped me.

Not if you dont mind the smell of your drains in the kitchen. It is called a 'trap' becuase it traps drain smells.
Nope! it traps clean water which acts as a barrier for drain smells. ;-)

Smart Arse! Not if you pour dirty water down the sink!
Yes
Does it by any chance include one of those space-saving in-line traps with the rubber lay-flat pipe which has the same overall function, but externally looks much like a straight length of pipe?
