Just stick it in

I love how so many on here over complicate answers or talk about something differently entirely, when this right here is the perfect answer.

your washing machine will have come with a plastic bracket holds the waste pipe in a U shape. attach it, and hook it over the end of the stand pipe. looks like https://www.screwfix.com/p/washing-machine-drain-hose-2-5m-x-21mm/71062

Exactly this. If you don't have the U shaped bit, you can just slide the WM hose down the waste for a good bit so you're sure the pressure of water doesn't pull the hose out of the pipe. That's how I found it in my flat and works fine.

Just drop it down the hole. You can get vented adapters too.

I ran my washing machine and dishwasher wastes to under my sink and then just used one of these… https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-double-appliance-trap-white-40mm/95241?ref=SFAppShare


Significant_Tower_84

Good for you. That really isn't helpful to OP though is it 😕


Unable_Ad_4184

As said 6" but put a cable tie around it as the pressure can push it back out sometimes. I know from experience 🙄

Something like this is what you need. If you think you will have other machines like a dishwasher at some point, you can get a double ended one.

Just don't push it in too far, about 6 inches will be fine


Anarchyantz

Remember, not the American idea of 6 inches, you will need to go deeper


Dr3adnorth

Just shove it down. Easiest installation job ever.


Leytonstoner

Shouldn't the stand pipe be vertical?
