At most plumbing shops or supply houses. If your trap and stand pipe is 2" ask for a 2 X 1 1/2" female slip compression fitting. good luck, Tom

Ask for a female slip 1 1/2" compression fitting. If the big box stores don't carry them go to a plumbing shop or supply house and take the picture with you.

Tom,

exactly how does the hose from the washing machine fit in to the compression fitting?? I bought a compression fitting today but when I put the hose from the washing machine in to it, it's not tight. The supply house gave me 3 different rubber washers but none are tight. Am I doing something worng or do I need a tighter washer

The gasket should fit snug around the hose to be effective.
