Any advice on the best way to extend the hose of a washing machine folks without it being a bodge?
All the hoses I can get hold of have a bigger opening on one end which doesn’t fit on the trap spigot or the barbed connector I have?
Cheers
Hi
I'm unsure what is acceptable when routing the drain hose from a washing machine.
Is the loop shown in the picture acceptable?
Additionally, the rubber end to the drain hose almost closes off the 40mm opening of the stand pipe. I know that a gap must be present. Looking at the hose, the...
Hi there!
When I run hot or cold kitchen tap, clean transparent water slowly appears in washing machine - this water smells - have to scoop it out! Not sure if issue is installation - washing machine is sited not far from sink (live in flat and kitchen small). Here is a picture of the piping...
Hi,
Thanks for looking. I am getting a new washing machine who will install, disconnect, recycle it, etc as long as its a straight forward process.
Which it may be, however, we moved our old machine from one house to another and the plumber who disconnected it cut off the end of the waste pipe...
Hi
We have a small utility cupboard for a washing machine with a standard washing machine waste kit installed as shown. Excuse my poor draughtsmanship. For complicated reasons we need to raise the floor as shown but this means we obviously need to raise the washing machine waste trap.
The...
My dishwasher (on the left) and washing machine (on the right) are positioned next to one another – see pic A
After repeated washing machine cycles over time waste water from the washing machine builds up in the basin of the dishwasher - see pic B. The waste water will overflow onto the floor...
This is the only place I can fit a washing machine in my new kitchen. The drainage pipe would have to go approx. 5 m - is this okay or will it cause issues?
Many thanks!
I am installing a sink in utility room. Washing machine waste already exists and is the verical pipe with the flexib pipe from the machine poked down the top and a with a u bend at the bottow going directly to outside drain. Is it OK to put a tee joint into the verical pipe and join the sink...
We have a utility room with a washing machine but no sink. Wife wants sink. There is room to fit one and the waste will connect to wahing machine waste but the problem is in the water supply. Currently there is only hot and cold washing machine hose fitting isolators attached to very short...
Hi all
We noticed water suddenly backing up through the pipe for the dishwasher drainage pipe yesterday - first time this has happened.
When I move the pipe up vertically, the issue goes away.
The dishwasher is new and was installed a few months ago.
Looking at the pipe on the wall it...
Hi,
We have noticed for a while now that when our washing machine nears the end of a cycle we get a bad smell of dirty water in the downstairs toilet which is next door.
We have moved the washing machine as we are having floor tiles put down and have noticed that the waste pipe is full of dark...
We had water leak from the laundry sink into the cupboard below, then flow down the hole cut for the pipes (the hole was on the floor of the cupboard).. this water then went downstairs and flooded the downstairs bedroom that is directly above the laundry area.
It makes no sense to me to cut the...
I have moved our washing machine into the garage but there isn’t a drain for the waste pipe. The attached image is of the waste pipe with the condensate pipe from the boiler, can I use a tee join and connect the washing machine pipe? The pipe leads outside and is saddled to the main waste pipe.
My mum is trying to connect a washing machine and dishwasher in her kitchen. She got a guy out to do the job and he ended up making a hole in her washing machine hose and ramming the dishwasher hose into it, held together with masking tape and charged her 200 quid for the privilege of her...
A few months ago I wanted to connect a 1000l water butt (fabricated from galv steel) to our washing machine. After trawling many forums and websites for advice the general consensus was don't bother. I like a challenge so connected up the butt initially with nothing else in line, the washer...
Hi, all. I have a leak problem behind the washing machine. It's a pipe that is leaking directly into a drain. It used to drip but now is leaking a steady stream without stopping.
Seems to be coming from water heater but I cannot tell. It is cold water. When I turn off the main water supply, it...
My recently installed Bosch is sounding like a washing machine. It started 4 days ago and goes through this cycle for 35mins twice a day. Using the shower in the morning usually kicks it off.
Engineer’s coming in 2hrs but he doesn’t know what it could be from the video so I don’t have much...
Hello,
I'm installing a new kitchen which will have a dishwasher and washing machine.
As I'm cutting/teeing into the cold mains 15mm pipe (before the kitchen sink taps) to feed the dishwasher and washing machine is it worth fitting a isolation valve with a built-in check valve?
Regards

Hi All,
I'm plumbing in a washing machine into our new house and rather than a normal waste pipe this house just has a hole in the ground. It looks as if the hole used to be a 40mm pipe but it has been sawn off at ground level such that the top of the pipe is flush with the floor tiles. This...
