    Washing machine outflow

    I have a slight leak on the joint between my kitchen sink bottle trap & the waste pipe (which I'm getting fixed). My question is, if I use my washing machine, will water travel the wrong way back to the leaky bottle trap? Or is it independent from that pipe?

    Morning all We are moving to a new property, and I want to put the washing machine in a ground floor bathroom next to the handbasin. I assume I can simply take a cold feed off the supply to the handbasin, but I'm less sure about the waste. The handbasin waste looks like a standard size...
