Proper organization of the drainage of water from the washing unit

This kind of operation for connecting cars Experts believe the main thing is that the quality of your assistant depends on its quality. Unlike connecting to a plumbing system and an electrical home network, draining a washing machine requires more attention.

Do the calculations

Before proceeding with the connection of the machine, it is necessary to make certain calculations and familiarize yourself with the method of discharge of used water from your apartment. Then buy the necessary materials for this.

If you have never been involved in connecting plumbing, then consult with knowledgeable people, watch the videos to find out all the nuances, or ask for help from professionals.

It will help to make the right connection; drawing up a detailed connection scheme for all communications, where the general picture is clear, what materials need to be bought, an approximate amount of work. At the same time it is necessary to consider:

• distance from the drain to the washing machine;
• material of already laid pipes in a private house or apartment;
• hose length in a set of household appliances;
• tee, the size of the hose, which must be purchased.

When organizing a drain for a washing machine, the main thing to consider is: the smaller the distance from the device to the entrance to the sewer, the greater the guarantee against accidental leaks.

Standard methods

There are three main methods of organizing the disposal of waste water from household appliances.

Plumbing through the plumbing

Any type of kit provides plastic retainer to fasten drain hose in a special position on the edge of the bath, washbasin or toilet bowl. It should take into account some of the nuances:

1. The holder must be securely fastened so that when it is drained it does not end up on the floor, which is fraught with a flood for the neighbors.
2. When washing is done, you will not have to use the bathroom or toilet for some time,which does not add convenience to all living in the apartment.
3. After each wash it will be necessary to wash off the sediment. If this is not done, then over time it will be difficult to remove it without the use of special tools.

This method of removing waste water is not suitable for all users, so they choose other, more acceptable options.

Drain water in the bath

Siphon connection

When the machine is installed in the bathroom, directly next to the sink for washing or directly under it, this option will drain the waste water from the washing machine. In this case, it is necessary to choose the option of connecting through a siphon with a special branch and check valve.

It is important! A non-return valve prevents odors from the sewers that cannot be neutralized by any flavors.

When connecting the machine in the kitchen choose a similar option if it is located next to the sink. In this case, the siphon is installed closer to the sink, at a height of at least 45 cm, and the drain hose is fixed using a special guide, like an inverted Latin letter U, at a height of 70 cm above the floor.The hose from the machine goes up, and then goes down and connects to the sewer through the siphon.

How to make the connection is shown in the photo: the pipe is inserted into the drain hose and secured with a special clamp. This is a simple and profitable method for draining a washing machine down the drain.

Siphon drainage

Connect directly

When the entrance to the sewer is at some distance from household appliances, you need to do sidebar, and install a branch to the place of installation of the machine, and this already requires special skills in the plumbing work. However, many home masters have already mastered the wisdom of the hot connection of metal-plastic pipes of the plumbing system, so they will be able to connect the sewage system pipes.

Remember! When connecting the machine directly to the sewage system, violation of the established connection rules as a result of independent actions entails the repair of equipment at your expense, the manufacturer’s warranty obligations will be invalid.

If the pipe is cast iron, then one cannot do without a specialist.Watch the video carefully to find out how difficult the process of organizing the drain for such a connection of the washing machine to the sewage system:

Some experts insert into the riser tee, and through it a drain hose is already connected through a sealing ring. The scheme that we offer is very simple: it shows how to properly connect to the sewage of a city apartment, while observing the necessary height so that the unpleasant smell does not pass into the car’s system. The drain hose is inserted at a height of no more than 80 cm - it should not touch the water inside the pipe.

Important! It must be remembered that the height of the location of the drain hose affects the operation of the pump: the higher, the greater the load. Follow the recommendations of experts.

After all the work is done, check the machine in idle modeto make sure that your choice of organizing the drain does not imply any leakage and all connections remain tight. By the way, the system will also protect you from leaks Aquastopwhich can be in the washing machine by default or bought and installed separately.

The favorable circumstances of the connections of the owners of individual cottages: they can make all the necessary taps and water and electricity supply systems in advance so as not to guess later on how to make this or that connection, what costs will be needed.

Horizontal drain

A few words about a horizontal drain into the sewer under the bathroom, which many homeowners do wrong. It is easy to disguise it with overlaid panels, which is why the design of the whole room benefits, but there is a huge minus: the drain hose will be filled with drains from the bath. Unpleasant odors will inevitably be constantly present in the system of the washing unit, not to mention the constant dampness. In order to avoid such negative consequences, the introduction of a drain from the machine should be done from the top down and with the obligatory water gate.

Air Clearance Conditions

Materials and tools

For the proper organization of the process of withdrawal of waste water from the car you will need:

1. Discharge hose - with a good location of the sewage system, you can use the bundled one, in others you will have to buy it separately. In this case, it is necessary to take into account all the bends, because building it is unacceptable.
2. Everything sealing means better to buy on the basis of silicone - it is durable and provides sealing at 100%. The basis of the organization of plumbing works of any kind is to pay special attention to the prevention of leakage.
3. Metal pipes, special siphon with an additional branch for connecting the washing unit, tees, adapters and different types of knee, non-return valve. Calculate the diameter, length and type independently, depending on the chosen connection option.
4. Pipe cutter and other special tools if you plan to insert a home sewer system. Adjustable wrench or set of open-end wrenches.

If all the work is done correctly, the results of idle washing did not reveal leaks in the drain system, then you can hope that it will serve as reliably for a long time as the washing machine itself.
