Hi all. I have a tiny kitchen and want to fit a tabletop dishwasher to the existing washing machine plumbing. I think I have found the right thing to connect the cold water supply - it's called a compression alliance t bar from screwfix and I've attached a photo (hopefully).

However I am a loss how to connect the waste water. I have trawled the internet for hours to no avail. I currently have a vertical white pipe that the washing machine grey hose just sits in - it isn't secured.

I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

just push d/w waste into same pipe thats enough slightly tight squeeze though.
 
Hi , Buy a double spigot adaptor,, which will fit on your waste pipe,, and connect both appliances waste pipes,, google double spigot,, made by mcalpine.. a good plumbing merchants will have one ))
Merchants by me only keep the full kit not the adaptor but the kit is only ÂŁ11
 
Thank you to everyone that replied. I bought a McAlpine appliance trap with a single spigot to fit the dishwasher waste pipe to and a brass Y adaptor to fit both dishwasher and washing machine inlet hoses to (the t bar connector didn't fit)

Didn't need a plumber at all :)
 
It`s always good to hear back with good news Jules.

I have moved our washing machine into the garage but there isn’t a drain for the waste pipe. The attached image is of the waste pipe with the condensate pipe from the boiler, can I use a tee join and connect the washing machine pipe? The pipe leads outside and is saddled to the main waste pipe.

Hi My washing machine is 5m away from the water mains copper pipe/valve. I've currently got a long blue inlet hose connecting the washing machine to the copper pipe/valve. Is this OK or should I get more copper pipe added and then use a shorter blue in let hose to connect the 2?
