Just renovating an old kitchen, this is what was under sink, with previous washing machine waste pipe going into the right hand side. Is this ok? I just wasn't sure as there is a bend in the pipe where the sink waste pipe meets if that makes sense.
Also replace all the copper from where the dust pan is, you don't want any of those screw in washing machine valves, they always leak when you look at them.

Thanks for your help. I'm planning on putting the washing machine in to the right of what is there at the moment. It has come with one of those U shaped drain hose holder things, so am I right in thinking I then don't need to connect the washing machine waste into the sink pipe spigot?No its not right.
There is no trap on the washing machine side so foul air can enter the room.
The T before the pipe exits through the wall is a swept T. The sink waste will go the correct way round the sweep but the washing machine waste will have its flow restricted.
If there is a blockage further downstream, sink water is likely to flow out of the washing machine upstand.
You would be better off ripping that out and starting again. Use solvent weld pipe and fittings and feed the washing machine waste into the spigot on the sink trap.
I just thought as the washing machine waste pipe was coming from the other side (on the right of the pic), however if it makes no difference then yes I'll do thatWhy not feed the w/m waste into the spigot? it is what its for. I wouldn't want to use an upstand w/m trap with the outlet through the wall being so high (there would be hardly any upstand). If you really want to go that route, then drill another hole through the wall. If the waste drops into a gulley outside, this would be easy enough to do.
No its not right.

Thanks, so the non compression end of this would work with solvent cement?FloPlast WC27 Universal Compression Waste Conversion Bend 90° 40mm - Screwfix
