Want to ask about my situation here: The current laundry yard is not ideal for putting any washer bcoz my wet kitchen too big and due to a wrong calculation by the contractor they cannot make more spaces So I came up with an idea like this, wondering is that possible for the washer to pump all the water without any overflow issue? If yes a PVC or flex hose to suggest to me?
red = original washer drain hose put into the sidewall of the cement wall of kitchen top yellow = pull the drain hole extension like a 30-degree angle. pin to the wall purple = flat and go in the main basin drain pipe, pin to the wall for the straight and 90' elbow connect to the drain hole
as long as your washer got build in pump. in most front load, yes got.
in your case, consider put drain into separate hole, eg on the floor. this is to prevent sink dirt backflow to your washing machine. if no choice, then can use your method.
Thx for the advise.
Oh, I think if the drain is slope down should be ok no need to separate it?
And incase to prevent overflow do you think should I add an air vent? Something like this at youtube here, skip to 4:20 minutes:

The combine outlet may cause insect and backflow grease water from sink outlet go into your washer.
Also the pipe via wall will mess up your kitchen cabinet. The possibility of leaking at corner cabinet will be a issue too.
The other side of L corner is your stove area? Where are you going to put your gas tank? Try not to mix wet kitchen and washer.
Even the water flow is slope down but the water still able to flow back reverse????
Shld I use those clicks and hook up type of piping to prevent insect problem? or I wanna save money I just locked my basin drain let is stuck there coz bottom got a P trap already? the cabinet actually yet to build and consider water leak issue will ask the contractor to use aluminum panel with drill some reserve a hole for my piping
This is the dry kitchen, my wet kitchen(laundry yard) is L shape too that is why no more places for a laundry due to my "super smart" wetwork contractor

Check with your contractor the pipe size too. Dont underestimate the water flow from washer’s pump. Go to electrical shop and ask the recommended drain pipe size.
The problem with water trap is they cut the flow volume.
thx for the advice, yes the ask me to use a hard PVC 3-4" then I wonder why need so big since it so damn long and I tot using a long extension flex hose will do the trick haha
you are right for the trap but it blocks odor and insect which is a big benefit, bcoz of that trap slow down an issue that is why I wonder implement an air vent valve could help you check my youtube video above, it provides air to let go the pressure...just like you terbalik a bottle with full water with a hole at the bottom will drain faster than no hole...
During normal use should be no risk of back flow. When your sink is stuck with grease, and you try to pump it then may flow to unwanted place.
Mine use 3/4inch pvc pipe to drain. No issue so far. No risk of backflow.
oh understood, so assuming u kena b4 so wat trap u using now? typical P trap or the universal telescopic basin bottle? ur 3/4" pvc also extend all the way from washer too? mine to share how you joint the original flex to the pvc?
