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.
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.
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!
Cheers for the video; we'd plumbed ours in - but it wouldn't drain away - watched your video and realised there was a blanking cap inside the sink waste connector! Doh! you saved us a lot of hassle.
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.
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..
So glad you made this video!!!! I can not physically carry laundry down a flight of stairs (my apt on 2nd floor) or back up it. I use a cane to help me walk so it’s IMPOSSIBLE!! This was such a life changer for me. And so easy to do. I’m 66 and it was easy breezy… just check for leaks. ..and your done. Yeah 😃
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
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). After removing it, the draining worked just fine.
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.
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.
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?
Yeh: This guy is generous : I'll thank him for the upload, but please read on. He's not showing you everything. When the machine arrives the waste pipe is held on at the back by heavy plastic clips (I had to carefully cut through one clip, so the GREY waste pipe was free to bend under my sink). At 7:42 when he puts the waste pipe on the spigot (white spout sticking out) notice the GREY C clip is not there. He doesnt show you that you have to REMOVE this clip - if you are fitting the waste pipe under the sink. It's not that obvious the C clip can be removed and comes fitted with new machines. You only need the C clip, if you are installing the grey washing machine waste pipe into a vertical waste pipe (what this guy calls Method 2). Other little things that can go wrong include not having the black SEAL RINGS inside the supply pipe connectors (the hot and cold pipes that attach to the machine). Without these you will get leaks immediately. The jubilee clip he uses is a 13-19mm Hose Clip (that he doesnt identify): These dont come with the machine. To even attempt this job, I would have 2 x 13-19mm jubilee clips, a few spare seal rings, a hack saw, pliers and various screw drivers. I would oil the jubliee clip screw, so it does not corrode AND ensure its fully TIGHTENED, coz the machine will be sending a lot of waste water through that connection. Good luck. Comments welcomed.
Hi what kind connection did you end up use and how it hold up? The way he doing it is fairly easy and if it is the proper installation I would do it, But, as I read the code I'm start thinking connecting grey wast pipe to sink is code violation, here code say it should has it's own 2" drain pipe, and the top off drain pipe should above the wash machine. Which put all these connections above counter top, but I really want hide under counter.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.........
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.
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.
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?
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.

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate

Hi there, how do you extend that washing machine hose to reach the water supply?
I'm fighting with the landlord to get him to put a new washing machine in before I move in...lol. Many thanks. Great video!
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.

Are the 2 methods "legal" in Canada? Are we really allowed to install the drain hose in the standing pipe in the 2nd method?
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?

Thank you so much
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
Water supply right next to electrical outlet socket, super safe
Thank you very much
Thanks but the waste connector which is 40mm is too small to screw on my pipe. Do they make a 50mm waste pipe connector?
very helpful
What size was the metal clip or does the washing machine come with one?
Your really talented. You need to make boiler installation video
Do you think the new sink drain pipe can handle water pressure and won't damage and flood?
What is that part with the "bits" coming out from the plastic pipe called?
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 like your plastering job, it looks very smooth LMAO
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.........
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.
No worries I found one. For anyone else looking, search for "Universal Space Saver Plumbing Kit"
AbsolutEdd thanks
Thanks 👍
Hello, where do you find a "washing machine top" like at 3:00 ? I don't have that in my house and even if I did, I'd have nothing to connect it to.
Do you leave the water supply on?
Thx. Excellent!
The transition plugs blasted my hands
Thanks 🙏 bro

love the connection/connectors, so small and cute, not bulky like those in my home :(
Don't do it that way, you will have sink full of water when wash machine pump water out.
The metal clip under the sink is called a Jubilee clip.
Excellent .
Quite useful, thanks.
When you cut the waste spigot on the trap you need to deburr the plastic pipe otherwise it will get a build up and eventually block
Good video Jubilee hose clips don't come with machine I guess
good video
Are all the connections for the water supply universal in the UK?
Helpfully
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?
cool video but i have some problems with the pipe outlet which has a cap i don´t know what tool I need to open it
I fount the drain hose is too long so I cut it and when I on the water just flash through seems there's no auto shut-off.
why does the flexi waste drain pipe have to be 60 cm from the floor?
We did not remove the 4 screws but the washing machine works. Do you think it will get broken?
I think it will break the washing machine. I expect that the drum is not shaking.
Probably and your warranty will not cover it as it is mandatory to remove them
