    Hello.

    In the wall at a height of 55 cm I have a PVC pipe with a diameter of ?32 mm. I would like to connect the drain from the washing machine to it.
    Can I do it directly through a 32/25 reduction gasket? About such:
    Connecting Washing Machine Drain to 32mm PVC Pipe: Evaluating Gasket Reduction vs Siphon Method

    The seller in the fittings store advised against this solution and recommended a siphon because an additional metal clamp can be attached to the hose:

    The seller claims that the hose may fall out of the reduction gasket. I find it hard to believe, but I'd rather not have to replace the hardwood floor if that should happen.
    I would connect through a siphon, but this is a very tiny room and it is difficult to approach with the cable from the bottom - then the hose would have to be twisted as shown in the picture (version 2). The hose in this position does not fit "lightly" and I wonder if it would not turn the siphon over time

    The siphon must be used only and exclusively as in version 2? Can't do as in version 3? Apparently, those siphons with a spring are very dirty and need to be cleaned - I would prefer to avoid it (access problem). The siphon without a spring in version 3 will not work - the ball will drop - can you just take it out? I would like to point out that I have no problems with the smell - now the tube is just sticking out of the wall and I did not clog it, and no smell comes out of it.
    So I would like to connect via a 32/25 reduction - the cable fits perfectly for this approach, only this seller scared me that it might fall out, I bought such a reduction and it seems to sit very tightly on the outlet duct of the washing machine. Come on, be smart here. Do you have any experience with connecting directly via 32/25 reduction?

    In my opinion, it should work without any problems, for greater safety you can remove the gasket from the elbow and press it onto the hose on which you can add a band and then press it into the elbow. Even ordinary ties should prevent the hose from slipping out.

    Fi32 to the pipe from the washing machine, it may be too short. A narrow tube may not discharge the water under pressure and the hose may fly out if it is just pressed into the rubber reducer.
    A siphon for the hose is not needed, but it would be useful to reduce it so that the hose from the washing machine could be attached with a screw - as stated by the seller.
    Something like this:

    Connect through a siphon, it will guarantee a proper hose seating, i.e. version 2 or 3 from the picture, as you prefer there.
    For the first option, the pipe diameter in the wall is too small and carries the risk of the hose popping out, as it cannot be inserted well and deeply behind the elbow.

    I didn't understand exactly how you see it in order to realize it. Can you explain that? :)

    I wish I had a bigger pipe for the drain.
    In fact, the outflow can be so great that the hose can "jump out" from such a reduction at the fi 32 pipe?
    Which option from my drawing through the siphon will be better? I am inclined to version 3 only whether to pull the ball or is it better to use a ball and a spring?

    It is not a question of water pressure, but of the inability to fit the hose properly in such a drain, you will not push it behind the elbow.

    2 or 3, divine indifference, both will work properly.

    Eventually I connected via way 2 :) I tried method 1 but it was impossible to press it. I talked to someone who works in the service - they recommend removing all balls and springs from the washing machine siphons because they create additional resistance for the pump - I did just that at home.
    Thank you all for the advice :)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting a washing machine drain to a 32mm PVC pipe. The user considers using a 32/25 reduction gasket but is advised against it due to concerns about the hose potentially slipping out. Instead, a siphon connection is recommended for better security, allowing for a metal clamp to be used. Various responses highlight the risks of using a reduction gasket, particularly regarding water pressure and proper hose fitting. Ultimately, the user opts for the siphon method, removing internal components to reduce resistance for the washing machine pump.
