Both space and plumbing connections are tight in many basement setups. In such a situation, it is possible for both the automatic washer and washing sink to share with you the drain that is same. To be able to connect a sink up to your drain inlet, a plumbing system fixture known as a tee will have to be set up if it’sn’t hookup inside already. This permits the drainpipe for the sink to get in touch to the standpipe for the automatic washer.

Install Sewer Tee

Examine the sewer pipeline inlet located nearest the washing and sink machine. Normally, this is a free-standing pipeline having an end that is open. If you have perhaps not a tee connection for the sink inlet, one will have to be set up.

Turn off the water supply for both the automatic washer plus the sink. These two fixtures could have two supply that is separate, one when it comes to hot and something for chilled water. Rotate the knobs in the ends associated with the valves clockwise all the best way to cut the water off.

Unplug the washing machine through the charged energy socket.

Slice the sewer inlet pipeline in half about halfway down. On steel pipe, work with a rotary cutting device with a metal blade that is cutting. Make use of hacksaw or other saw on PVC pipeline. Sand down any rough sides on the pipes.

Link a tee fitting towards the sewer pipeline. Secure a metal tee into the pipeline with a plastic coupling and hose clamps. Fasten the clamps with a screwdriver. Aim the tee in direction of the sink drainpipe. A PVC pipe may be glued into place with primer and PVC glue.

Link a right drainpipe piece towards the the top of tee. Protected it with a plastic coupling on steel glue or pipe another PVC pipeline in position. Secure the pipeline to your stud that is nearest or wall surface having a clamp to help keep it constant.

Connect the Sink and Automatic Washer

Insert the drain hose through the automatic washer to the the surface of the sewer pipe. Protected it set up with a synthetic tie or hose clamp.

Fit together the and put them into place between your tailpiece while the sewer pipeline. This can help you see whether the pipelines should be cut further before final positioning. Cut PVC pipelines with a hacksaw and steel pipelines with a rotary device by having a steel cutting accessory. Sand down any rough sides.

Link the drainpipe for the sink to your tee inlet. Glue PVC pipeline set up with primer and glue. Protected metal pipeline through the use of pipe thread element to your drainpipe before screwing it in to the tee.

Insert the p-trap set up between your tailpiece from the underside for the sink as well as the drainpipe. Slide the couplings on the final end connections and tighten up these with a wrench.

Switch on water supply valves for the washing and sink machine by rotating them counterclockwise.

Plug the washing machine back in the wall surface socket.
