Hi guys.
I have a washing machine on the first floor of my house.
Have a bit of a problem with the water out drain.
Please see attached photos.
I wanted the stand pipe to be in the corner where the fresh water inlet is. I came home from work mortified to find it like this.
The plumber said he had to do this because there is a joist at the orange line which he can't cross. So he just ran the black drain pipe alongside the joist at the appropriate.
The only problem is, I need the washing machine flush against the wall on the left but the stand pipe will obviously be in the way.
In the photo I have demonstrated what I want to do. Is this possible?
Can I just push the flexible outlet pipe from the washer straight into the black elbow without the standpipe?
The elbow connects to a 2.5m run across with the appropriate slope.
That goes straight down into an open drain hole outside.
Many thanks
CF
