    JT shower waste query??

    Have any of you guys used this type of shower trap? It’s not 2 compression knuckles like most it’s more of a swivel fitting to give an angle. It doesn’t unscrew either.

    Can I connect my washing machine waste pipe to this standing pipe?

    I have moved our washing machine into the garage but there isn’t a drain for the waste pipe. The attached image is of the waste pipe with the condensate pipe from the boiler, can I use a tee join and connect the washing machine pipe? The pipe leads outside and is saddled to the main waste pipe.
