Some boiler manufacturers and industry guidance says that you can boss a condensate pipe for a condensing boiler into a washing machine standpipe. Is this assuming the washing machine standpipe is actually still being used by the washing machine?
I'm just wondering if a washing machine pump was discharging water and the boiler was in full condensing mode, could the standpipe be breached with water overflowing out of it?
Also, what fitting would the condensate pipe need to be connected to the standpipe? Presumably it would need to be on an angle/fall rather than tee'ing in entering horizontally, otherwise when the washing machine drains, the water would flow along the condensate pipe.
