Washing machine & dishwasher drainage

[stennywarrior]

Hi folks.

We have this as our current setup for the dishwasher & washing machine drainage.

Soon be getting a new washing machine and wondering if there are any better alternatives?

I'm aware of the Mcalpine twin connector but space doesn't allow the use of that.

You might be able to fit another stand pipe and T into the. bottom of the waste pipe but if it works like it already is then why bother

Thanks Andy but don't think I have room for that as the standpipe is pretty close to the carcass on the left.

Thread 'Dishwasher & Washing Machine into 1 Standpipe'

15 Apr 2016

Hi, my washing machine and dishwasher wastes use the a single standpipe & trap and the waste pipes from the 2 appliances were just stuffed into the top of the standpipe.

As I'm going to be fitting a new kitchen I thought I'd do it properly. I'd still like them to share the same standpipe & trap but do it right this time.

I know plumbers merchants sell "Y" pieces but they are threaded on each end so that won't do.

I Googled and saw the attached photo how someone had done this using a 135 deg Tee and 2 x 135 deg bends but I'm wondering how he got the bottom of the 135 Tee to screw into...

Plenty of room , shorten pipe a few cm and move it right a few cm’s.
