Hello,
in my house there are pipes for water softener in the garage, and the drain pipe seems to be already installed in the laundry, into the washing machine tray. The end of the pipe, however, is not open (see attached pic).
I'm doing this for the first time, and not finding much reference. Is it safe for me to cut the end of this copper pipe in the washing machine tray?
Also, can I just connect the drain hose on the middle pipe as shown in the second picture, or should I install an air gap as well?
Thanks in advance.
