Hi all,
I'm interested in what people's usual practice is when installing kitchen sinks and associated pipework for washing machines, dishwashers and other appliances that need a waste. Do you just use those spigot connectors which sit between the sink connection and the trap or do you run a separate P trap and pipe for the appliance.
My experience has been that those spigot connectors often lead to appliances back flowing into sinks or at least causing noise down the plug hole - but this may just be that the rest of the run is badly installed. Seems to me that a tee'd off separate pipe with trap will allow better drainage especially if both sink and appliance are in use at once.
Thoughts?
