My condo has a closet design for a washing machine/dryer set up and I want to make sure everything is wired correctly
It has connections for hot and cold water on the wall. It also has two other hookups that I'm trying to identify.
One hookup is beside the water valves but is larger around than most pipes I've seen(maybe 1.5"-2" across) and has a draft of cold air that smells of laundry. Is this for the water drain from the washer or is the vent for the dryer?
Another connection is about 0.5" above the floor and has a more typical hose connection. Is this the water drain or is for draining spilled water?

Water Connection
Fitted Pipe. That connection has a screw fitting and would likely connect well to a garden hose.

The top hole is indeed used for the washer drain.
The lower pipe is used to drain a washing machine pan.
If the washer leaks this pipe allows the water to drain away safely, instead of flooding the laundry area.
