Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster!
I've got a puzzle that I don't know how to solve and hoping you can help me out.
I'm remodelling the kitchen at the moment and have come to the moment of truth where I need to reorganise the pipes to work in a new sink position and also to move the washing machine, currently the washing machine sits next to the sink and waste is put through the tube into a spigot of the sink P trap.
i've attached a pic but basically the sink and w/m will move to opposite ends of the layout. When the sink moves the w/m waste won't be able to go around the room to the spigot so I'm thinking to leave the existing sink p trap and add a 'T' in lower down, then in turn a straight pipe up to the new sink.
My question really is, am I ok to leave the existing P trap open lat the top? Doesn't it then become a stand pipe with the nature of the P trap stopping any nasty smells?
Hope all this makes sense but it's late and I'm knackered!
Thanks in advance
