What size waste for washine machine in a shed

    Putting washing machine in shed, 12m from the house. Digging the trench this week before putting in shed base. I take it your typical 32mm/40mm waste pipe is too narrow.

    What size waste pipe should I run? What slope is recommended? Waste from the kitchen looks to be 32mm and flows into an open drain that then ties into the main sewer via a much larger waste, about 100mm from what I can see, sewer is about 1.5m away from that drain. Unsure if that is relevant? Was planning on tying into the existing drain for the kitchen.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Thanks

    2” would probably be grand. Any fall on the pipe would be ok. Put concrete under pipe so it dosent sag later on

    Great, thanks for quick reply. I've some bags of cement and sand there. Better to use them than have to put them in the skip.
