Washing machine plumbing into floor waste.

[muthafunky]

Hi all.

I'm hoping someone can advise me on how to plumb a washing machine into this floor waste that's fitted with a 40mm reducer.

I've only ever plumbed into a sink p-trap before and I'm struggling to figure out how to plumb it into this floor waste connection.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Fit a standpipe and trap,and from that pipework into the black boss ( reducer) in the floor.

Thanks for your quick reply Terry. Is this standpipe and trap suitable:

Not to sound daft but how would I get from that pipework into the reducer. My worry was that I'd create and s-trap style contraption.

Yes ,that standpipe/ trap from Screwfix is what you need . You would use a short length of 40mm waste pipe horizontally from the trap to an elbow ,and from the elbow another piece of pipe , vertically down into the boss.

Thank you Terry it's much appreciated. One more thing off the list of things to do.

Might be prudent to change the Boss Adaptor as part of the job, new Adaptor will probably be a bit more flexible, and ensures a snug joint.
