QUOTE(lowyat101 @ Apr 12 2023, 01:26 PM) Hi all, Wanna ask, for the floor drain of the washing machine, normally how do you finish it? Currently I just ask the contractor to extend the drain pipe a few inches above the floor, like the picture below. So later I can just put the hose into this pipe. [attachmentid=11462980] But I also come across with this type of floor trap, with an adaptor for the hose. Just wondering, if this type will be a better option? [attachmentid=11462979] Thanks The one with the floor trap will be a better option. There is technical reason to it. The direct discharge is without any trap. There is no water seal to prevent the foul smell or vermin ( cockroaches / insect ) to go back to the washing machine. Your washing machine will be exposed to the risk. The option with the floor trap has the water seal inside the floor trap. The water seal can prevent the foul smell & vermin to enter the washing machine. |

If the size cannot fit, look for a connector from the hardware. There should be a connector which can connect properly. |

Discharge hose is not a high tech product, no manufacturer will purposely create the odd sizes to trouble consumer, they will opt for the standard sizes available in the market. |

QUOTE(Bijisss @ Oct 17 2023, 06:59 PM) Hi. I really need advice here. Having problem deciding the plumbing and connector to floor drain at my yard. I need to discharge water from 2 outlets (from sink and washing machine) to 1 floor drain (existing drainage). Layout plan at yard as attached picture. Current plan, to use H-type connector (like the attached picture) with the water seal (self sealing). I prefer to have water seal due to the functionality of blocking the smell and vermin like u mentioned here. The thing is i’m not sure if this plan is the best for the water flow as i have seen a lot of sharing that with the water seal the water from washing machine tends to overflow the floor drain. Also not sure if 2 outlets to 1 floor drain is the best option for the long term use. Someone commented that most probably the grease water from sink will flow to the washing machine Layout plan at yard  H-type connector for sink and washing machine outlets  It is a valid concern. The connector was at your unit level without any mechanism to prevent back flow. If installed with poor gradient, there connector will always contains the waste water inside. There is risk this waste water will be back flowed into the washing machine. The kitchen waste water, better hack the floor, direct connect into the floor trap instead of using the connector. |
