Default Washing Machine Waste

Thanks Tim
Just the info I needed.
Discharges into gulley, but gulley connects after short drain run to
combined water/sewer system, so will defo fit trap of some sort!


The gulley will have a trap underneath too - you can tell by the standing
water under the grate.

As I said, then a trap will help stop draughts and won't do any harm. Trap
doesn't have to be right by the machine - I have mine the other side of the
wall under the stairs for convenience - that type is called a "running
trap".
