I have just moved into a house where the laundry tub does not have a bypass hole in the sink. We have just had it draining into the sink, but it has accidentally overflowed a few times so I want to plumb it in.
Other than buying a new sink with a waste bypass kit, how can I do this? To me it looks like the waste connection is for a dishwasher hose only - is that right? If I want to connect the washing machine waste, do I need to buy a new p-trap similar to the one in this link? :https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/YPIAAOSwrhBZEvuu/s-l400.jpg
Will I even be able to connect the waste hose if it is rigid plastic? Or does it need to be rubber in order to connect to a waste outlet on a p trap?
Or am I better off replacing the sink with one with a bypass? Is that a better outcome, or same same?
