How to install a washing machine drain correctly – which method is best?

How should a washing machine drain hose be installed correctly, and which method is best?

Method 3 is the usual correct choice, but the drain should include a siphon/air break so the hose cannot self-siphon water back out [#8517075] [#8517806] If the hose goes over the edge of a washbasin, that provides the needed air access; if the sewer inlet is about 50–80 cm high, you can instead use a washing-machine siphon or a tight direct connection with reducers such as 50/32, 50/25, or 32/25 [#8519507] A 50 mm drain pipe is preferred because it avoids water being sucked out of the machine; with a 32 mm pipe, the straight section should be only a short distance [#8519507] If you are building or renovating, a concealed siphon chamber is described as the best overall solution [#20479269]

    Washing machine occasionally bought - no instructions.
    Sometimes the hose itself does not function as a siphon (fig. 5) and adding a siphon as in fig. 6 is unnecessary?

    From this it follows that fig. 3 is correct. You need a siphon, but there should be air access, which will work by inserting the hose over the edge of the washbasin.

    I used method 6/3 - "almost" tight connection. Between the hose and the rubber reduction I pressed a paper clip bent into an elongated U. Thanks to this, it does not smell and it stopped drawing water from the washing machine, as it happened with a completely tight connection.

    Method 3 does not always work. If the siphon flow is too slow, water may leak at the point where the hose is inserted into the drain pipe.
    If the inlet to the sewer pipe is at a height of 50 - 80 cm, you can use a siphon as in the picture above (tight, secure and easily dismantled connection), or a hose directly to the pipe but it must be tight (reduction gaskets 50/32, 50/25 are available) , 32/25 - depends on the diameter of the hose and pipe; the best pipe is 50mm, because then there will be no water suction, and if 32mm, it is a dozen or so cm at most and then thicker).

    Hello
    I have a similar problem - a drain in the floor, but I have the ability to raise it.
    I would like to do it like this - put a 45° elbow in the drain - a horizontal pipe - a 45° elbow - a vertical pipe - a 45° elbow and a washing machine hose in this elbow.
    Will it work?

  • Use an elbow and U-shaped drain hose without siphon

    For a sewage pipe, if it is a 50mm pipe, it is best to use an elbow: https://m.leroymerlin.pl/hydraulika/kanalizac...e/redukcja-50-x-32-mm-90-biala-equation,p8515, l671.html do kolanka zastosować syfon: https://www.mediaexpert.pl/agd/akcesoria-agd/...KDXm_ogJiBU6Zup1GE3i8VfbY-LXNc4kaAnL3EALw_wcB lub w taki way: https://youtu.be/hyJHRGQAaf4
    If you do not want to use a siphon, it is best to attach a drain hose behind the washing machine to create a U-shape.

  • Concealed siphon chamber is the best drain option

    The famous spring ball, services love it, E error generator and quick checkout. The best siphon for a washing machine is the concealed one with a siphon chamber, but you have to think about it when building or renovating.
    What I wrote is the simplest execution of a siphon, and the washing machine cord can lie wherever it wants, only the height of the bales was preserved according to instructions.

    If it is a patent with a spring, remove the spring and leave the ball. Then it does not kill the drain pump and works without problems. Just clean it once a year then.

    Why all these gimmicks? If I understand the drawing correctly, the exit from the existing sewer is up. So insert 50 cm of vertical pipe of the appropriate diameter. To her:
    - reducing gasket and washing machine hose or
    - 90° elbow, washing machine siphon and washing machine hose.
