Outflow from washing machine

Sep 07, 2003 1 Replies

Hi (again!)



At the moment, my washing machine outflow hose is simply a 2.5m flexible grey hose, the end of which is slung into a drain pipe, stuffed in with old rags so that I don't have the pleasure of smelling our neighbours drains (we live on the second floor of a three floor block of flats).



Obviously, if I'm to put a dishwasher in the same room, I need a better way of getting the water into the drain pipe. I'm sure there's a standard way of doing this, but having looked carefully at various on-line plumbing catalogues, I'll be blowed if I can see one. can anyone offer some advice?



Thanks;



Dave


Look at a washing machine trap for each appliance. These have a water seal trap and eliminate smells.
