    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

    My pipe is 1 1/2". What size should I ask for? Can I buy one at Lowe's or Home Depot?

    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.
