This is a hack to make double the surface area of a widely used lint trap stand pipe. www.amazon.com/dp/B007IVDKII/... www.menards.com/main/p-144444...
That's pretty slick. I just paid over $300 to have my frozen sewer line jetted, which has made me hyer-observant about what's going down the drain. I just did some laundry and I looked at that cheap piece of crap steel mesh sock and saw a prime suspect. I figuried I'd investigate by adding a second mesh sock and wrapped one around the drain filter. It didn't take long before I could see lint starting to build up on the mesh at the drain, so I added a third sock around the hose. It'll be intersting to see how much gets through each successive layer. After seeing this, I think I'll definitely add this to whatever over-the-top lint catching system I decide on. Thanks!
I use the mesh onion bags on the discharge pipe from the washer. I just use twist ties to hold it up. if it slips out from the force of water then you probably need a new bag there ...
As do I, but I still have a lint issue. I use the mesh bags and the strainer on the drain still gets clogged. I'm thinking that this solution might be better in addition (not instead of) to the mesh bags.
It's a 3/4" coupler that is a few inches long, and yes you leave about an inch of the neck to go into it. The lint traps actually will stop going further into the coupler since they get wider than what will fit into the coupler. Jb weld does a great job, mine is still working great 2 years later.
Thank you for the great idea, but I just use one and put a pipe in it so it's cheaper, plus I have an easy way to clean it. It's a great idea to use and a good gift for the kids and family... Here's my video on how I use it and how I clean it which I give you credit for the idea :) ua-cam.com/video/OqPNl9yyCek/v-deo.html

This pure genius. I love it.
Nice job!

This will not fit into my drain , i just use a sock and it catches everything.
Did you get a 2" coupler and basically left 1" on each of the necks to slide into the coupler?

Where do you buy the lint trap at?
