Safety first If you’re fitting a washing machine in your bathroom, you won’t be able to put a socket or switched fused connection unit in there. Follow the guidance in our ‘how to install a washing machine drain hose’ section as a drain hose and waste pipe are the same. So, it’s best to mount the fused connection unit outside the bathroom and connect your machine to a flex outlet plate in the bathroom. Secure the valve by tightening its retaining locknut with a spanner or wrench, so that the valve doesn’t move.The easiest solution though, is to put your machine next to a sink and change your sink trap to a washing machine trap – which has an inlet for the waste hose above the trap. So, when fitting a new washing machine, it is a good idea to learn how to install a washing machine drain hose. Your machine’s flexible waste hose has to discharge into a waste pipe or trap above the level of the top of the drum.
