need help routing washing machine waste downstream of U trap

[Dotty]

When someone else asks me a question I deem it polite to answer and offer a response..... I have never felt the need for rudeness or sarcastic comments on a forum before, but then I am me.......I will remove the dead leg in the hose, as you so kindly pointed out, but in case there are other factors which are adding to my issue, lack of venting etc, I will ( with your permission of course ) continue to explore them...

No one was rude to you, friend.

Would you like to retract the post?

Aren't those spigots above the water seal of the trap, so venting would be pointless - even with the plugs in.

Venting of drains is required to protect the trap seals so the drain needs to be vented on the downstream side of the trap - to stop the trap being syphoned .

there is the stench stack going out to the roof space which obviously vents downstream of the trap.....but I really thought in the past I had a vent from the manifold, before the trap, which clipped just under the sink......could be wrong though......I am going to go with the screw fix washing machine adapter , solves the problem what ever the cause......
Didn't mean to start a war on this forum.....have been doing minor house maintenance for family and friends as long as I can remember, worked as a process technician in a oil refinery for 20+ years so understand the science and mechanics of fluid movements Venturi effects seal traps etc etc......just had a simple problem to solve, which partly involved regs for plumbing / waste, which I have little knowledge of......can consider this post closed as don't think I am going to get the answer I want and have decided on a course of action


thanks to everyone

Thank you,I agree there's no need for rudeness,there are two types of plumbers,those who work on new builds and open a box and put it together like a jigsaw and maintenance plumbers,I've done new build in my twenties then concentrated on maintenance for the last 30 years,
I always ask them to explain what's happening,consider what's been said and I am wondering if the smell is coming from your washing machine,so I suggest from my experience and have found on numerous occasions that you should take off the flexi overflow pipe on the sink combination waste and smell it and see if it's partially blocked as this pipe generally doesn't come into much use and people who prepare a lot of fish quite often find the smell is coming from there, it will only take a minute to take off this pipe,could save you a lot of time and effort.

Thank you for stating that you don't like rudeness or arrogance

There is no overflow.....have written a final post thanking everyone, just getting a bit too heated for me......In my experience , plumbers have been the easiest of trades to talk to, always friendly and ready to explain things....

best wishes, good luck and take care....

There are approx over a dozen replies to your post and tbh about a dozen of them are attempting to help you. It isn't easy to understand things without being able to see everything and obviously you are unsure yourself.
I feel all the plumbers have been very interested in helping you, and remember their time has been given free.

We will have just agree to differ.....I help many many people on various forums and never keep reminding them my help and advice is FREE.........and my main question was never answered.....
