    washing machine waste pipe

    Hi guys. I'm going to put my washing machine adjacent to my bathroom. The path of least resistance to plumb the waste pipe would be under the bath tub. Is this allowed? If yes, would there be any issues with the bathtub draining slower or the washing machine waste coming up into the bath tub...

    PVC waste pipe for outside

    Where do you buy your 40mm pvc waste pipes from? I'm struggling to find any. Or do you just use the ABS solvent weld pipe and don't bother painting it? I haven't seen any painted!
