      The standard for new washing machine drain sizes, according to the Universal Plumbing Code, is now 2 inches. The pipe should be between 18 and 30 inches high from the floor, while the P-trap should be between 6 and 18 inches from the floor. These standpipes connect into the home sewage system. They should also be vented according to the Universal Plumbing Code or the local codes in your area.
