Yes, I was thinking, would it not just pump the waste water into the other machine !? | ||

Draining Two Machines
A buddy of mine grew up in a large family and they had two washers...and his mom had to stagger the cycles to avoid overflowing the drain tub into which both hoses fed. He told me of a time once when he was messing around with the loads and as a result both drained at once and caused a small flood which earned him a good whipping with dad's belt!

Easiest solution is...
You can either buy a self cutting waste kit from most DIY stores and install it behind the washer in the standpipe below the original washer hose or, Get a T piece of matching pipe an elbow and a small length of pipe and create another stand pipe for the new machine.
Its simple enough to do if you need further explanation etc do not hesitate to say and if I can I will gladly assist you:) Austin | ||

that's great- thanks very much, perhaps I will give that a go next week. I have never done any plumbing work at all - so am a complete novice!! | ||

2 machines 1 drain because i buy and sell, sometimes we have a 3rd machine hooked up and i just shove the drain pipes of the for sale machine and ours into the same drain. its a tight fit but they both stay in and drain perfectly fine. no backwash or overflow. but lately i just put the 1 drain pipe into the toilet in the laundry | ||

this is the setup I did when I set up my laundry studio
It is not seen in this pic but behind the 806s there is another pipe that the 806s and the 606s drain into Also not seen in the pic but the Calypso washer I have it is to the right of the laundry tub and I stretch the drain hose over to it as well

I would run 2inch pipe around the whole wall, and fall right into the laundrytub.....just add 12inch risers with "T"'s as needed, and allow each machine to have their own pipe.....
I think Combo52John has 8 or 10 machines in the warehouse hooked up like this along one wall, during the washin we had almost every machine running at the same time....plus they had a few portables running into the sink also.... I have 5 machines running into one drain tub, and sometimes 2 or 3 do all pump in at one time, as long as your drain line is clear, there should not be an issue in the pic is Johns warehouse, which is a great place to visit, thank you John, and on the left you can see the pipe running along the wall, with risers and several hoses in each one...running down to the laundy tub, and emptying into that!
