Hello!
I seem to be too clueless to use this new trap correctly... it’s supposed to have connections for both a dishwasher AND a washing machine... but I only see one connection, which is also quite inconvenient because it’s mounted vertically at the top. Can anyone help me out here?
😕
Edit
There is only one, unbelievable. The Atlant had two. Who on earth designed this thing, and why did they have to replace the old ATLANT in the first place?!!
I’ve already searched half the internet looking for a suitable cut-to-length standpipe with two drain connections, but no luck. IKEA has its own dimensions, and for that reason no other trap fits either. There are also no flexible Y-connectors available.
How does IKEA now plan to enable its customers to connect both dishwasher and washing machine simultaneously like before?

I also find the missing second connection stupid.
However, there is an "official" DIY guide using a Y-piece (from a hardware store or online retailer) and metal clamps.
It’s not very elegant, and if you’re not careful, the whole setup isn’t leak-proof.
