Hi,
We currently move to a new place and try to connect our front load washing machine waste to the pipe underneath the laundry sink (photo 1). However, we don't another spigot to connect the washing waste. Currently we have one spigot and it is connected to the heat pump dryer waste. It has a waste whole on the top of the sink, but there is no space to put the washing machines on the right to connect to that whole. We have a bench in our laudry which only give me an opinion of connect to the pipe underneath the sink.
My aim is to make another whole to connect the washing machine waste to the pipe.
I am thinking of taking out a part of the pipe (blue part- picture 2) and use a connection from the PVC to washing machines to the connect the waste Washing machine tub.
I found other people's pipe photo on the internet with the connection that I am looking for to buy (red part- photo 3) but I am can't find anywhere to buy this type of connection.
My question are:
- Do you think this will work?
- Does Bunnings sell that connection or any alternative connection that I can buy to connection between pvc to washing machine hose?
Our washing machine hose is 30-31mm
Thank you
Hi @Tamdaolam
That is very strange indeed, I don't understand why you are getting flow back from the spouts, it should work smoothly. The only reason that comes to mind is that the waste pump of your machine is too strong, and the waste connection can't cope.
I suggest engaging the services of a licensed plumber as they will know where to position your dryer outlet.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi Eric,
I haven't run the test for the washing machine or the dryer yet so the issue shouldn't be from the waste pump of my machine right. This issue occurs simply when I run the water from the sink tap to the pipe and water pull out from the spigots. It is really strange.
Thanks for all the assistance.
Hi @Tamdaolam,
Unfortunately, it sounds like you're going to need a plumber to assist from here.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
