    Compression fitting
    My stand up drain for my washer comes to a Y at the top actually it has a fitting at the top I think whoever put it in uses it as a vent.but if I want to install a compression fitting at the top so my drain hose from the washer fits tight in it so it doesn't blow out water will I still need that Y at the top or can I cut that one off and glue the compression fitting on
