Hi All,

I'm plumbing in a washing machine into our new house and rather than a normal waste pipe this house just has a hole in the ground. It looks as if the hole used to be a 40mm pipe but it has been sawn off at ground level such that the top of the pipe is flush with the floor tiles. This means there's no pipe sticking out to fit a connector on to. Is there a product that will fit inside the hole (internal diameter is about 38mm) and have a normal waste connector on the other end?


Thanks in advance,

J

Can I connect my washing machine waste pipe to this standing pipe?
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.
