Product Information

The waste outlet for your appliance runs into the waste trap and then via pipework to your foul drain.

If you do this, make sure that you run your machine empty the next time you use to clear out any unwanted chemicals in there.

Pop 2 pipe clips over the pipe and fix them to the wall using 40mm screws and wall plugs, ensuring the pipes totally vertically level using a spirit level. Pop the new waste trap in place, making sure the pipes that it connects to are pushed right down to the collars and move the washers and seals into place and screw up the screw caps nice and tightly. The standpipe waste trap is the best solution in terms of waste traps for both washing machines and dishwashers. The main reason for this is that it has its own purpose made outlet that takes waste water from the machine into the remaining foul pipework or its own specific foul waste if needed. We always prefer to use solvent weld or compression fittings when it comes to waste pipes because once it is made, it stays together and there is no chance of any leaky joints. This, as its name suggests, straps onto the soil pipe and the waste pipe from the washing machine or dishwasher and pushes inside the rubber collar. A hole is made in the soil pipe to allow free passage of waste.

Next, using a tape measure, measure from the new pipe joint over to where the new standpipe will be positioned and cut a piece of UPVC pipe to length, remembering to measure from inside the collar of the joint where the pipe will butt up to. Tidy up the end with a piece of sandpaper. When the washing machine is working it pumps the wastewater out and is more than capable of pumping it uphill, so don’t worry about that. There are many different objects in the home that use such a device including basin’s, baths and toilets and although they differ slightly in appearance they all work in essentially the same way. You want to push your grey waste pipe onto one of these spigots, but make sure you have a jubilee clip on the hose first, this should be nice and loose and just floating for the time being. If yours look like the image above with the “ribs” on them then this means they can be cut down to accommodate different hose widths. You probably don’t need to bother with this however and should just leave it as is.

In some instances, running a new waste pipe from an existing waste isn’t going to be possible or there may be a convenient drain or soil pipe just the other side of the wall that would be much easier to run a waste to rather than removing kitchen units or trying to alter them. I have illustrated an image below for you to make it easier to see what they are. Spigots on a waste trap Ideally any washing machine, dishwasher or similar should be installed as close to a foul drainage point as possible, this is normally around the sink area.

With the old waste out the way, unscrew the compressions nuts and remove the washer and seals for the new one and slip them over the ends of the pipes. The sink and appliance waste trap is fairly commonly used where just a washing machine is installed. This type of trap merges the standard sink waste with an additional outlet that a washing machine waste can be connected to. Place a joiner on the end of the existing pipe and glue it in place. Add any further pipe joints to remake any waste outlets that you cut away e.g. sink waste etc. This is one of those jobs you’ve probably never given much thought to until it comes time to install a washing machine in a new house and everything isn’t quite set up the same as it was in the old place. Maybe the waste pipes under the sink are all different, or perhaps you can’t even see anywhere to attach the hose to. Well worry not, we have all bases covered here, so continue on and read our guide. Connecting Washing Machine Waste Pipe In the UK the Building Regulations Document H states that any object or appliance that discharges into a foul waste system must be fitted with a waste trap to prevent any foul odours from escaping into the room area.There are 3 types of waste trap that are generally used for appliances, with 2 being used much more regularly than the third. The main types are the standpipe waste trap and the sink and appliance waste. The third fairly uncommonly used type is the self sealing waste trap. Sink and Appliance Waste Trap Quite often there is some nasty sludge in there also and you don’t want that getting everywhere either. If you have a rotatable spigot then you can move this into an upward position to help with that. You may well have a fixed spigot as I do. If this is indeed what you have under your sink then you will need to move the pipe into a position where it feeds down into the spigot at some point. Here you can see the full waste trap Dishwasher and washing machine Using a piece of finer 240 grit sandpaper, sand off the cut end to smooth it off and remove any burrs. You want the waste pipe to run uphill after coming out of the spigot if possible. What this does is stops any waste from the sink from coming down the pipe and into your washing machine.

When installing the standpipe it should be clipped to the wall at least twice in its vertical length and at every 400mm along its horizontal length. Any sagging of the pipework can lead to puddles of stagnant water in the pipe which can cause horrible smells. If the hassle of installing a proper standpipe is just too much or you don’t have the funds to pay for a tradesman to do it for you the other option is to replace the existing waste outlet under your sink with a new one featuring an appliance nozzle. Once in place and you have connected up the water supply and plugged it in, turn the machine on and run a test to make sure all is well and working.Pop the appliance in position and then position the waste into the standpipe. This will either involve dropping the hose down the standpipe, ensuring that there is at least 100mm between its end and the water in the trap or hooking the hook of the pipe over the top. The next job is to remove the old waste trap. This is a fairly easy task and just involves unscrewing the 2 compression nuts holding it in place.
