I have been given a washing machine and I've plumbed in the inlet no problems
The problem I have is that the outlet hose coming from the machine is not compatible with the drainage plumbing in the kitchen.
Here is a picture of the outlet hose and the plumbing under the sink:
I think this type of hose is used when one has a tall, open pipe connected to the drainage. In which the hose is then loosely lowered into. As we can see I have no such pipe nor the space to install one.
My idea is to cut the end attachment off of the hose and connect it to that free connector on the trap via a spigot and nut union (assuming I can find one) and secure it with PTFE-tape and a jubilee clip.
Does this sound reasonable or is there another way?
Edit:
Here is a better view of the setup

The tall open pipe is called a standpipe and that is what you'll need to install.
The correct way to do this depends on your local building codes, but for reference, according to Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) the pipe needs to be at least 18 inches above the trap and the trap needs to be 6 inches above the floor.
The drain pipes also need to be a minimum size. This also depends on local building but where I live the minimum is 2".
