I have had it like that at a house I lived at, it would drain directly into the basement floor drain, however it was a pain in the behind, because I often found myself tripping over it, or if the kiddos wanted to ride their bikes or 3 wheeler toddler things in the basement they would get hooked up on the hose also. And if it got to far away from the floor drain I had a water mess, so if at all possible go with the drain behind washer, out of sight ... out of mind.

How do you level a floor with a drain?

What is the odds of a leak when using 2 wax rings one with flange and with out?

Should be zero, but it happens. You usually use two rings when the drain is below the level of the floor. If you put ceramic tile down this happens. As long as the wax seals against the toilet and the floor, it shouldn't leak. Another issue is if the drain sticks above the floor too much and the toilet tends to rock on the drain. This will cause a leak. You set the toilet in place and put your weight on it to compress the seal and tightened the mounting bolts snug? You can use two rings both with flanges. That way there shouldn't be a side blowout.


Why there is a need for converting high level language into machine level language............ why cant we use high level language directly in computers?

Machine code is the native language of the machine. The machine does not "understand" any language other than its own native language. As such, all other languages, including low level assembly languages, must be compiled or interpreted in order to produce the required machine code.

What is better a drain pump or a drain valve in a washing machine?

A"drain pump" machine uses a drain tube that is higher than the the level of water in the basin and therefore uses a mechanical pump to empty the tank overthat threshold pipe. A "dump valve" drain uses a mechanical valve at the bottom of the basin and simply opens to drain the tank.


Can you remove a toilet and floor over drain?

The toilet flange is usually above the floor level. You would have to cut it off the drain pipe and cap it. How you do this depends on what type of pipe the drain is made of. Even if the drain should be below the floor level, you have to seal the drain or sewer gas will come up from the drain.

How do you install a washing machine?

If you are wanting to install a washing machine and the plumbing is already there, it is a cinch! Remove the old washer (Unscrew the water supply lines and unhook the drain hose). Make sure you get new water supply hoses. I like the steel braided hoses for extra strength and piece of mind. Hook up your new hoses to the correct inlets on your washer (they are marked H for hot and C for cold) Hook up your drain hose, level the washer and you are good to go! Check out the related links to get a better feel for how to install a washing machine.
