Default Draining a Washing Machine into a Cast Iron Sewer Pipe


"mg" wrote in message
...
I have an old house that has a cast iron pipe that runs along a cinder
block wall in the basement and then goes through the wall and exits
the house.
Someone told me that it is possible to tap into the sewer pipe and use
it for the clothes washer drain. Does anyone know how this is done and
where to get the parts and how well it works?


You need a hole saw to make the proper sized hole. You can buy a saddle
that fits over the pipe to make the connection for the washer hose to go
into.
