Just a thought,

do I still need a u-bend if I don't have a washing machine ?

The kit I brought from B&Q seems to indicate that I don't need one.

Yes. You'll find it difficult to connect the pipework without one.

Thanks again Nigel.

Not if you dont mind the smell of your drains in the kitchen. It is
called a 'trap' becuase it traps drain smells.

Nope! it traps clean water which acts as a barrier for drain smells. ;-)

Smart Arse! Not if you pour dirty water down the sink!

Does it by any chance include one of those space-saving in-line
traps with the rubber lay-flat pipe which has the same overall
function, but externally looks much like a straight length of
pipe?
