washing machine drain hose
My washing machine drain hose inserts into a drain pipe just larger than the
drain hose. Problem is some water is not shooting down the pipe. There is a elbow about 6-8inches down from where it inserts. Any suggestions on adapting this? I have no laundry tub |

Problem is some water is not shooting down the pipe. There is a elbow about 6-8inches down from where it inserts. Any suggestions on adapting this? I have no laundry tub The outlet of my drain hose is 1-1/4 and the drain pipe is 1-1/2 PVC so it was easy to install a threaded adapter from the local hardware store and top it off with a nut and rubber washer borrowed from a J trap. With the tight fit, air can no get in to break any possible suction on the drain pipe so I teed off the drain pipe and installed an air admittance valve higher than the drain hose. Perhaps overkill on that. Bob |

Maybe you could just add a couple of inches to the top of the pipe. I
think the installation instructions for my washer specified a minimum height before the trap. I didn't read the instructions though, I just glanced at them and my eyes started to burn. |
