No, a residential washing machine drain system must always include a properly installed P-trap and standpipe assembly that complies with local plumbing codes. The P-trap holds a standing curve of water that acts as an essential physical gas barrier, preventing noxious sewer gases, foul odors, and harmful bacteria from rising up through the drain pipe and entering your laundry room or home. Additionally, building codes dictate specific height requirements for the vertical standpipe to prevent wastewater from overflowing. You can troubleshoot plumbing compliance easily.
