The one mentioned at the very end: the drain pipe the washer's drain connected to had a PVC cover that needed to be drilled/punched out (since if a washer wasn't connected it'd be a hole in that drain!). If you're replacing another washer, it was probably already punched out.

- consp 2y agoPvc is welded/glued. I would have installed at least a hose clamp on this thing and would never rely on friction to keep it in place.
- dmurray 2y agoEven without a cap, gravity "should" prevent the drain leaking - the connection to the hose is some height above where it joins the U-trap. If the drain backs up and the pressure is high enough to force water out, it might be enough to pop any screwed cap too.
