Hello all,

Looking for some ideas on this, new kitchen going in and I'm doing plumbing.

Dishwasher needs a waste but it's not going next to a sink..

The only available space is in the next cupboard, as it will be a integrated, no room behind.

The waste can go through the outside wall, into the cupboard, but what to connect the actual waste pipe from the dishwasher to?

Ideas..

Will there not be a service space at the back of the kitchen unit? There's usually a 50mm gap?

If it has to wind it's way out and back in, can it then get to where the sink waste is? Or am I making it simpler than it actually is? :) If it can then a spigot would probably work best.

One of these popped in after the trap to connect onto -

Where is the closest drain or waste pipe? No other option I have seen to deal with the volume of water than running into a drain/soil pipe.
 
Hook it into a standpipe. Job done. ;)

Was thinking that would be my easiest option, but was trying to avoid the standpipe in the back of the cupboard, they are quite tall aren't they.

Due to the size affecting the space in the cupboard, having to cut the shelfs etc.

Could I adapt the standpipe with a hose conector, so I could shorten the standpipe?

So basicly a u bend and the hose connector.

It's an outside wall and can get to a drain easily, it's the connection I'm pondering.
 
Standpipe can be shortened, but I'd leave enough to give the water a chance to go downwards, you don't want an eruption out the top when the dishwasher empties and the waste has begun to gunge up a few months down the line! :eek:

Extactly, my thoughts.
 
You could do away with the u bend and use a HEPvO with a little piece of pipe up top with a DW spigot in a connector, no issue with backflow then??
 
Just looked them up in google, never seen or used one.

Apart from a shower tray trap which used the same principle.

If I could use one of those with a hose spigot adapator, which would keep it nice and compact.
