Hi all,

I need to connect a washing machine to a 42mm waste pipe which protrudes horizontally from a wall in my (new) utility room. It's about 90cm up the wall (as the room is in the cellar and that's how the heights work out) so there's no room for a big tall standpipe. (I've checked and the machine should be OK pumping up that high.)

Preferred arrangement would be the waste hose connected to a spigot, a trap, and a non-return valve. No so keen on the waste just hooped into the top of a pipe, especially since I can't fit a tall standpipe.

I've spent hours looking at Wickes, Screwfix, B&Q - just cannot find the right bits. All the spigots come with connections to a sink, which I don't have. The pipework will be visible (albeit only utility room) so I don't really want extra unnecessary appendages.

Could anyone recommend the right parts to use please? Specific part codes or links would be brilliant.

Thanks,
Mark

Have a look at the MacAlpine V33WM......two connections but they do come with blanks so only one can be used.
Its a compression fitting onto your horizontal pipe run.

Aye, that plus a blanking plug would work too, Andy, if theres enough horizontal pipe poking through.

Use this:

And this:

Fit the bend onto pipe that stick out and make it turn left or right what you want, clip it secure and fit the straight nozzle to bend fitting and connect the hose to nozzle with hose clip. Don't need non-return-valve, they block up.

Where do the other end go?

You could fit a running trap in between.

That looks perfect, thanks.

Other end comes out in a manhole in the garage. Idea for non-return valve was to prevent dodgy smells and possible back-flow if the manhole were to back up. Perhaps a trap is sufficient though.
