No washer drain pipe? Help!

[Clains2000]

I just moved into a brand new house and I'm used to having the washer drain pipe between the hot/cold water pipes. There is not one, only the drainage pan pipe. Am I missing something? There is a pipe in the middle of the wall but its sealed. Any help would be appreciated.(See Pics)

Hello Clains2000

Looks to me like the washer drain pipe has been capped
most likely because without a washer draining water into the p trap while the house was vacant
the trap dried out and the smell of sewage was entering the home.
i have never seen that type of cap. so i am going to approach it carefully
with a sharp screwdriver, try to pry it up.
if that does not work, then cut the top of the cap in a small circle. then grab it with pliers
and pull up. try not to let any of it drop into the stand pipe

post back and let us know whats what

Agree with frodo!
Is there by any chance a wash sink nearby?

That type laundry box comes with the drain line caped. Remove the cap a Frodo explained.

Thanks, I did try prying the cap off with a screw driver, no luck. I will try and cut away the cap. @Diehard no wash sink near by. As the house is brand new, they just may have left it for me to cut.

What is that other cap, to the right of the washer?
Is that a capped clean-out access?

 

[frodo]

yes, that is a flush clean out plug
