I have a washing machine on one side of a wall and a utility sink on the other side of the wall which is in my shop. Currently the WM drains into a 1.5" standpipe which often clogs with lint. I would like to have the WM discharge into the utility sink so I can filter the lint and control the flow of the wastewater.

I know it may sound hokey, but am I creating any issues if I run the discharge hose through the wall (at a vertical angle) and get it to the sink on the other side?

What do you mean by that? I would think you would go through horizontally.

I would not put a splice or connector in the wall, so if you use an extension kit, I would have the connections outside of the wall. Some sort of bushing could dress that up. https://www.cableorganizer.com/arlington-industries/wire-bushings/

I was thinking that it would be better if the hose was at a bit of a vertical angle when it runs through the wall, like the attached drawing. I would use a new longer drain hose to avoid any connections inside the wall, and I like the idea of using bushings to dress up the look on both sides. Thanks.
