Product Information

As there will be water and waste in the trap you are removing, place some old towels or clothes over the area and also a bowl underneath to catch any waste water. Washing machines and dishwashers, once installed, must deliver their waste water to the foul drainage system for your home. This is the same system which takes the toilet and basin waste. It is illegal to put this waste water into your surface water system which is the water collected by your gutters. In some cases like this it may be possible to extend the waste pipe hose on the appliance to reach a little further but this should only be done if the manufacturer allows it and you use the correct extension kit stated by the manufacturers and that it doesn’t exceed a total length once extended of more than 1.5 metres.

In the UK the Building Regulations Document H states that any object or appliance that discharges into a foul waste system must be fitted with a waste trap to prevent any foul odours from escaping into the room area. Slip the body of the compression waste over the end of the new horizontal run of pipe (or pipe through wall if running externally) until it hits the end of the collar and then slip the seal and washer down to the end and then screw the cap up tight, ensuring the inlet is pointing directly 90° upwards. However this isn’t always possible due to the position of existing appliances or kitchen units so it may end up having to be installed some way away from any easily accessible drainage points. If you have a rotatable spigot then you can move this into an upward position to help with that. You may well have a fixed spigot as I do. If this is indeed what you have under your sink then you will need to move the pipe into a position where it feeds down into the spigot at some point. Here you can see the full waste trap Dishwasher and washing machine Next cut a length of pipe to run through the wall from the 90° bend and ensure there is around 75mm clear from the face of the wall to allow for the compression joint on the trap. When cut, glue this into the 90° joint.Next, take off 50mm and mark on the wall and this will define the length of pipe you need to cut for the standpipe. If the hassle of installing a proper standpipe is just too much or you don’t have the funds to pay for a tradesman to do it for you the other option is to replace the existing waste outlet under your sink with a new one featuring an appliance nozzle. If you do this, make sure that you run your machine empty the next time you use to clear out any unwanted chemicals in there. Once in place, tighten the Jubilee Clip all the way to hold the pipe in place. Once this is done, you’re all finished.

Place a joiner on the end of the existing pipe and glue it in place. Add any further pipe joints to remake any waste outlets that you cut away e.g. sink waste etc. In this case you can simply drill a hole through the wall and run the appliance waste through it out to the drain or connect to the soil pipe using a strap on boss. You want to push your grey waste pipe onto one of these spigots, but make sure you have a jubilee clip on the hose first, this should be nice and loose and just floating for the time being. If yours look like the image above with the “ribs” on them then this means they can be cut down to accommodate different hose widths. You probably don’t need to bother with this however and should just leave it as is. The next job is to remove the old waste trap. This is a fairly easy task and just involves unscrewing the 2 compression nuts holding it in place. There are 3 types of waste trap that are generally used for appliances, with 2 being used much more regularly than the third. The main types are the standpipe waste trap and the sink and appliance waste. The third fairly uncommonly used type is the self sealing waste trap. Sink and Appliance Waste TrapInstalling a self sealing vent, because it reduces negative pressure in the waste system, can be used to remove the noises associated with gurgling pipes and basins. It also removes the need for air admittance valves. Positioning Appliances and Waste Outlets Pop 2 pipe clips over the pipe and fix them to the wall using 40mm screws and wall plugs, ensuring the pipes totally vertically level using a spirit level. Once the waste hose is connected you can tighten up the jubilee clip to make the hose really secure. Jubilee Clip On Washing Machine Waste Pipe As the cupboards under kitchen sinks are notorious for storing items that don’t fit anywhere else the first job is to clear some space to work in. Using a piece of finer 240 grit sandpaper, sand off the cut end to smooth it off and remove any burrs.
