Are universal Dishwasher and Washing Machine Trap any good?

[PULLMYFINGER]

Hi,

I was hoping some feedback from a plumbing expert.

I'm basically looking at connecting my washing machine and dishwasher to the sink waste with a Universal Dishwasher and Washing Machine Trap - 40mm

This would be heaps quicker as the waste pipe is already installed and all i would need is the new trap with connections mentioned above.

I just want to make sure this way is good practice? just it seems like a lot for one waste pipe to handle, or do i have to take turns using the machines or emptying the sink to avoid feedback down one of the waste pipes. Or should I really try and keep the washing machine and dishwasher on there own separate waste pipe?

Many Thanks

They do work. Get a McAlpine one, they're good quality. Jubilee clip the waste outlets on the spigots. The wastes won't backflow. If your waste pipe from the kitchen sink is clear and installed correctly, there shouldn't be a problem.

Excellent, cheers for that
