That would be a start but then the trap is in the way and tends to reduce the
flow. I suppose one could measure the flow rate out of the washing machine
and then see how quickly the same volume of water takes to flow out of the
basin.

Ah, that sounds like the 'easiest' Andy .. assuming a full wash
quantity of water is less than our total bucket count! ;-)


Found. Ok, so this would all depend on how the soil exits etc .. good
idea though .. plenty of capacity etc ..

Yes, and also the soil pipe connection in the floor. I was fortunate that
mine was a little way below the floor and all that was necessary was to
excavate the shape for the angled piece of the boss. There could be room to
fit the whole thing above the floor, but if it's on show, a little ugly. Of
course, one way round that would be to switch the bog for a back to wall or
wall hung one and make the cistern a concealed one.

Ok, so an inspection is needed .. ;-)

And holes / cropped corners bringing the cord through etc.


You would wire a spur from the circuit on the other side of the wall in T&E.
Then run T&E from the FCU (pick one without flex outlet hole) down the wall
behind the back of the worktop. Then fit an unswitched 13A outlet below
worktop level. No flex on show.

Yep, exactly as per the picture in my mind Andy ;-) I was wondering
'why' one wouldn't just fit a single switched 13A socket, as it
provides disconnection and fused via the plug top but I guess if
something went wrong and the socket was hidden behind the machine etc?

All the best and thanks again ..
