fitting a sink - waste suggestions

[ETAF]

I'm planning on fitting a sink unit - laminate top
the picture shows the solvent weld pipework - we have a washing machine connected to the upstand and also the boiler condensate
but the bit with the right angle is compression

when the boiler was replaced with a combi boiler they redid the waste and pipework
i asked to put some isolating tails in for the HOT/COLD taps - hopefully not in the wrong place

any way my question
the sink we have has no waste etc
so I was thinking if i changed the right angle compression for a T - so i can then connect the sink waste to the Top of the T

any recommendations or alternatives for doing this
waste type - i was looking at maybe mcalpine

or would i be better off putting another trap in ... which i can take apart and clean from the rubbish which will go down the sink

OR should i remove all the compression stuff and start again

OP,
Perhaps it would be best for you to start again - not least, by raising the outlets higher & reversing them (earth on top): sockets need to be comfortably above the w/t - and lifting the ledger to 900mm from the FFL for the work top to sit on, & appliances to slide under the w/t.
The plumbing could do with re-doing as well.
Do you have a dimensioned design for the run of units & appliances on that wall?

the outlets will be in separate cupboard , so NO worktop - so that will boarded OFF - OLD installation

the appliances will be on the r/h/s - futher over

YES we will have a 60cm dryer , 3cm panel , 60cm W/m - which will come to just past the Water pipes coming UP
then 1m sink unit - then about 8cm and MDF top to bottom
where the pencil line is on the wall

where that bit of horizontal wood breaks will be an MDF panel

so its just the waste from the sink into that setup - as its been working fine for years - well we moved in 2017 and it was like that from 1997

Why are you plug sockets upside down?

because there was a worktop along - now will be nothing and NOT used other than boiler - so leaving as they are as inside a LARGE cupbaoard and at the back

its about the best type of SINK waste to fit onto the connections -

so I was thinking if i changed the right angle compression for a T - so i can then connect the sink waste to the Top of the T

It'll be a bit Heath Robinson doing as you suggest, and you don't need two traps. Boiler as far as I am aware has an internal trap so can be directly connected to the waste.

Remove the current trap, and replace with a bend so the waste turns and goes straight out the wall. (May need to fit a spigot 45° bends into the 90 to accommodate the height difference there.)

Fit your new sink, and use a Trap with an Appliance Connector, (eg. https://mcalpineplumbing.com/traps/...ries/sink-trap-with-domestic-appliance-inlet/ ), and connect that to the current upstand the Washing Machine is using, then connect Washing Machine to new Trap.

Remove and start again.

Thanks Hugh - But needs to connect the condestate from boiler

Thanks foxhole - remove ad start again - using what trap system to accomidate all the connections

Thanks Hugh - But needs to connect the condestate from boiler

You don't need to touch that end, just remove the Trap and alter where it goes out through the wall, connected sink to upstand where W/M goes into now, and W/M to new sink trap.

thanks for the further reply
BUT i'm not fully understanding - really sorry

the drain is not the other side of the wall - the pipe goes along the wall around 10m and into a drain at the end of the walls
so i would need to connect to the pipework on the otherside of the wall

all now sorted , had our plumber in , the stand pipe has been turned to be the sink waste and the w/mch connected to a spigot on the sink drain - with a spare spigot , in case we have to get a dryer which needs to pump out waste water
