Hi, I moved to a newly built place recently, noticed there are couple differences vs the old place around drainage.
Checking couple posts on the site now I know instead of an open drain pipe, now people use these tiny drain spigots now.
Problem is there are 3 appliances need to be drained, air con, wash machine and dryer, and there are only two spigots on the pipe.
How to add an extra one? I also worry the dryer drain pipe may not be long enough, since it needs to pass the side by side wash machine first.
Additionally, I have a 12V Makita set from Bunnings https://www.bunnings.com.au/makita-12v-max-2-piece-combo-kit-clx224_p0110269, what kind of bit I need to drill a hole on the cabinet side panel so that pipes from wash machines and dryer can access the water outlet and drain spigots?
Thanks all.
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Powdery9. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about drain spigots.
Is there any way the air conditioner could be drained elsewhere? Is it a portable unit, as typically split systems are plumbed to the outside of the wall they are installed on? How big is the pipe on the air conditioner?
I was thinking about adding a tee irrigation fitting to the clear pipe, but I'm concerned that might create backflow issues.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

I haven't heard of an aircon that drains within the house, but you learn something new every day @Powdery9.
The aircon and the dryer sharing the same line is likely the best option then.
