Hi

As the title suggests I want to move my washing machine from next to my sink to inside the pantry/lada

I have no idea if there needs to be a certain route I take the cold fill or if i can put it anywhere hence this post

Can I bury a cold fill pipe underneath my kitchen floor where I have put the red line

Thanks

the cold fill isn't a problem you can liturally run that where you want providing it's insulated or protected under the floor dependng what floor type you have.
it's the waste that causes problems, is the pantry near a drain point etc ?
 
The washing machine waste pipe is connected to the underneath of my sink, could I have the this waste pipe running alongside the cold coming back to the underneath of the sink connected to the same place
 
You'll need to check your levels carefully...the machine waste from the larder needs to be higher than the waste inlet under the sink, if you catch my drift. If it isn't, the water will wash back into the larder stand pipe.
I can't comment if the machine pump is capable of pushing water this distance though - its a wee bit unorthodox!

A wee bit unorthodox is an understatement :LOL: it’s a totally daft idea unless you find another route for the washing m/c waste. Waste pipes must run down hill, your washing machine waste cannot go down through the floor & then up to meet the existing sink waste :eek: . You will end up with an enormous 2 metre + (guess) water trap which will be constantly filled with water & your washing m/c pump will never cope with that. Your w/mc will constantly flood & the whole lot will end up stinking like hell; get some advice from someone who knows what they are doing.

It will also contravene Building Regs.
