This is the waste pipe for my washing machine, a dishwasher also used to be connected. It tees into the horizontal brown push fit waste and then flows to the right (indicated by the brown arrow) and then outside to the shared downpipe.
There's no trap here so I think I have to install one. I don't think there's enough room available for a standpipe waste (a standpipe's vertical section should be >400mm?), so I'll just have to remove the existing connection and connect appliances to the kitchen sink's trap instead? This is ok for one appliance, but if I have two I will have to extend one of the hoses to reach the sink trap, I don't know how feasible that is. Or can I install a shorter standpipe in the current location?
