To install a standpipe drain for a washing machine, first locate a suitable area near the washing machine where the standpipe can be installed. The standpipe should be at least 2 inches in diameter and extend at least 18 inches above the trap. Connect the standpipe to the existing plumbing using appropriate fittings and secure it in place. Make sure the standpipe is properly vented to prevent siphoning and backflow. Test the standpipe by running water through the washing machine to ensure proper drainage.
When installing a washer standpipe in a laundry room, it is important to ensure that the standpipe is at least 18 inches high and no more than 30 inches high, with a P-trap installed at the bottom. The standpipe should be securely anchored to the wall and have a vent at the top to prevent siphoning. Additionally, the standpipe should be properly sized to handle the flow of water from the washer.
