Hello all,

I am trying to plumb my dishwasher in under the sink, the pipe work currently has 1 waste nozzle that the washing machine is taking up and there are 2 blanked off spaces that can be used but for the life of me i cant find the correct fitting nozzle, the current one that the washing machine has is 45mm and ones from wickes are too big.

please advise here are a couple of pictures 2nd picture is one of the blanks that can be used if the right nozzle can be found.





thanks.

I've just worked out that it's italian, it has lira sticker on the side ffs where do i go with this all i want is the nozzle.

any help appreciated.

thanks.
 
You wont find anything to connect onto that I don't think. Only options are, either tee into the white waste pipe before it goes out the wall, or run another waste pipe outside, whichever, you will need to fit a standpipe to hook the waste into.

As above , that's the dodgy kit you get with ikea sinks.Most plumbers would throw it and use the standard stuff, probably a diy job.

Got a solution, you see the first picture the middle connection that's capped off, simple aim the pipe in there and it works fine, but what i'm going to do is make a hole in the plastic orange cap end you see in the picture and then put the pipe in the hole it will hold it nice and tight.
 
You're going in the right direction, but take the screw cap to a local plumbers merchant, and see if they've got the hose connector that would replace the orange blanking plate. Otherwise, it's buy the Franke waste kit, just for that part.
 
Yes that's the plan doggit and if they have not i will do as i've stated, i've already tested it and it works fine.
 
It'll work fine for a short while, but the continual movement of the outlet pipe will soon loosen any joint you make up.
 
looks the same as the one i got from b and q, i don't BS one's will fit, any of them i will try local merchants tomorrow.
 
I would imagine a stench wafting up through sink waste.......all those waste outlet connections being made before the trap is asking for trouble....a total mess.
Council sanitation inspectors from yester-year would be turning in their graves if greeted with this mess..
Waste outlet to trap water line shouldn't exceed 50mm , telescopic traps were frowned upon back in the day due to length of pipe before trap seal...
The position of washing machine waste hose in the photo will have the machine fill with waste water..
Industry gone to the dogs..

When you've a cupboard full of dirty water, a washing machine that's playing up, and any manufacturers guarantees on the appliances connected are void as the wastes haven't been installed correctly, perhaps you'll rethink. The reason specialist connections and parts are made is to do the job properly, and prevent flooding and/or backflow. Why ask for advice, only to ignore it and bodge the job anyway?

Whats wrong with the position of the washing machine waste hose does it have to be raised a little ?
 
At the moment, there's every chance that part of the contents of your sink are flowing into your washing machine - as a minimum the washing machine discharge hose should be raised up and secured at the level of the underside of the worktop.
