Hi .This video is about plumbing and installation new washing machine. I'm showing 2 methods of fitting the flex waste pipe under the kitchen sink and to the open pipe. Thank you for watching.
Thanks. This one help me to get the drainage issue fixed on my brand new washing machine. It was connected under the sink and there was a cap to cover the sink pipe which i removed before. But it wasn't draining. After watching the video i found there was another rubber seal inside (as shown in 5:00). Unlike some of the others commented, this wasn't a one way valve but a rubber bush which completely block the line. After removing it, draining worked just fine.
Nice video. Just one thing, at 5:00 you tell us to remove the middle bit of the rubber "washer" before replacing it. I don't think that is necessary. The middle bit of the rubber seal act's as a one-way flap valve which allowes waste water to travel in one direction only. (Into the drain) The rubber flap then closes to prevent waste water flowing back down the grey discharge hose towards the appliance. If it was supposed to be removed, why would it be there in the first place 😉. I have exactly the same sink trap and did not remove the middle of the rubber seal/valve. It works fine and drains nicely 😎.
Exactly. The engineer of the sink drain made it for that specific reason. Regular diy'ers should be more proud of the engineers who build these little add ons we hardly notice.
May be not the case always. I found out that it was rubber bush which completely block the line (its a new house where plumbing is just done) not a one way valve. After removing it, the draining worked just fine.
The middle of the rubber seal is meant to be left in so that water can travel out of the machine but not allowed to flow back into the machine from the sink but break the small tabs and just leave the one Big tab so it can let the machine water push against it

That middle bit of the washer acts as a non return valve. If you remove it then water can get into the washing machine or dishwasher when you empty the sink. This can be overcome if you point the small pipe upwards so that gravity won’t let water into the pipe. The sink drain acts as the anti-siphon in this case.
Jeez.. Brand new washing machine, plumbed it in easy-peazy, fired-up a cycle - stopped dead when it shoulda emptied, tried everything, EVERYTHING - but the beast simply refused to go any further... Then I checked this video at 4:14.. oops - bloody plug still in spigot! Thankfully - and very flabbergasted - we continued to watch until 5:00 - a washer! Flabbergasted again!! Thank you, mate, if not for you I'd have to dig shallow grave for my missus..
I have done loads of washing machines/Dishwashers and not gonna lie I learnt from this video about cutting the waste pipe down, I have always used a clip and never had issues. But I also noticed you done something wrong, the "washer" in the waste pipe is designed as a "Non-Return" so if your sink backs up all the dirty water does not go into your washing machine/Dishwasher, that is why it only opens one side.
Hi How2D2. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I recently lost my dad and moved into a new flat and had to connect my washing machine. He never taught me and I was worried I wouldn't manage and then I found your tutorial. You are a life saver.
Please, I have a question. In the drain hose installation, I observed that the height is higher than the machine. How will the water flow out of the machine
I'm searching for under counters wash machine plumbing as I ran into a problem that, by code it has to dump water in a 2" drain pipe, which eliminates the possibility of connected to lav drain. Or if I ran a dedicated drain pipe by code the bottom of P trap should be at least 6" off ground, and top of drain pipe should be at least 24" above P trap horizontal branch, these 2 plus P trap would be over 36 " above ground, so the laundry connection are all exposed above counter top. I want hide plumbing under counter but looks impossible, even on Bosch manual they have nice picture of washer dryer under counter and no connection above counter but in detail instruction it said drain pipe should be at least 36" above ground. I'm lost.
its a good point. I would detach the whole spigot, take it to a vice or workbench, grip the spigot in place, then start (slowly) sawing using a new hacksaw blade, wearing grip gloves: better safe than sorry.
Does the black stopper things have a specefic name to them or is it just called stoppers under the kitcken sink? I think I need to buy one. I have exactly the same setup under my kitchen sink and the grey drain pipe does go in one of those outlet. I have 2 open outlet down there, i reckon one is definitely for the washing machine drain pipe but other one is just there with leaking water. So what's that black stopper called?
I have my washing machine fitted the second way with the pipe inside the waste. But I have drain smell being blown out of it. What can I do it fix this problem?
Nice video although I would have just removed the blanking plug and left the thinner end on instead of hacksawing it off.........you never know.......just in case.........
The new washing machine site will be some distance from the sink. So, no waste connection there. But, the rear of the washing machine will be up against the 40mm waste pipe some distance away. I will need to connect via the second option shown. I fully understand the method of connecting the washing machine flexible waste pipe into a vertical waste pipe. But, how do you connect this vertical waste pipe to an existing 40mm waste pipe? Or is there another connection option? Thanks.
you need to break it down, Mike. The vertical waste pipe is a "run away" pipe (usually installed by a plumber) thats connected to your MAIN waste pipe that carries waste water out into the sewer (external drain). Your washing machine needs to be VERY close to this vertical "run away" pipe, when you fit washing machine waste water pipe (the GREY one attached to the machine) - shown in Method 2 in vid above. But heres the kicker- not all homes are fitted with a vertical runaway waste water pipe. If you dont have this vertical 40mm waste pipe NEAR your machine, I would ask a qualified plumber to install one FIRST, NEAR where your machine will be operating- before you do anything else. Good luck.
What about the pipe from the old washing machine. Ours is miles away from the spigot and goes through three cupboards and a right angle that only a mouse and pipe can fit through so no idea how they fitted it first time. I thought maybe you could disconnect the old washing machine pipe and insert that into the new washer but obviously a bit dumb not to use new parts and likely not his it should be done. No idea how anyone is supposed to thread the new pipe through all that though. String attached to both old pipe and new pipe pulled out until it reaches the sink spigot maybe. No other way I can see as there's no drain like in The video. Only other place is where dishwasher is now
Clips are 13-19mm hose clips (you can get them from any respectable builders merchants for a few pounds, or dollars). the oldschool engineers used to call them "jubilee clips".
duhhh ....the drum dosent move during transport . I feel so stupid ... so be careful buying second hand washing machines, once moved the drum could be a hazard
I was warned by the store who sold me my washer NEVER EVER EVER attempt to connect to the house drain (in case of back up apparenly??) ... what a crock of shit - LIARS - thanks for this
No idea, but it should come with the washing machine. It came with mine anyway, so if you need to mention it, I think that's a good way ti describe it... the one that comes with the machine :))
I'm here because the installer just pointed my waste hose directly into the sump.......I'd rather figure out how to do it right before I even wash a single load
horrible kind of installation😂😅🤣In japan most of the house have already a drainage for waste water to go down to the drainage!!No one use that kitchen plumbing to connect for washing😂😅🤣
Its a fair point... Method 2 (using a separate vertical waste pipe) does ensure dirty water from the washing machine has its own waste stream into the main drain: problem is- not all homes are fitted with vertical 40mm waste pipes. Its not a big job, but personally, I would leave it to a pro-plumber to fit one.
First those (4) screws are not screws, They are (4) bolts...! Secondly, that tool in your hand is not a bolt... It is a WRENCH... Third, learn English and the proper mechanical terminology before you start videoing instructions...!
@@jayfe7298 Repeat after me you fucking Limey or Aussie... "Spanner WRENCH" Just like an "adjustable WRENCH", an "open-end WRENCH", an "allen WRENCH", or a "box-end WRENCH" you idiot...!
Thank you, I now understand why our washing machine waste pipe didn't stay attached! We need a hose pipe clamp. We just moved and it's a different set up here, the utility room got a bit wet today!
Thanks for the vid! In the first method, what do you call that style of under sink trap with the washing machine waste inlet? I'm trying to find a shop that sells them.
With the use of an Oatey laundry box, If I were to lower the box so the top of the drain pipe is 28”, could I put the p-trap below the floor? I have a crawl space below the floor. Front load washer.
i bought one of those John guest push fit water 💦 💧 inlet washing machine taps....as apposed to the compression metal taps. i am supposed to be refitting my tiny kitchen out. But because I’m not a professional plumber; i don’t really see my kitchen being finished anytime soon this year. Wednesday am at 08:24H. 10th February 2021 U.K. 🇬🇧 Southampton.
As far as I know this type of connection is against code, wash machine should have it's own 2" drain pipe , and top of the drain pipe should be above wash machine.
In the first example of plumbing the waste is the U-clip not required because the trap of the sink will prevent smells? Where as if the waste is going in to a separate straight pipe then the U-clip is needed?
good instructions where it connect to the washer - mine is connecting at the bottom - does the hose come up high going to the drain tub? might help to see the back of the washer after all hooked up?
