Thanks a lot guys for the info.
So if I used one of those I would need a trap? Looks useful but maybe more so for existing installations than brand new ones?
Not sure if this "diagram" is clear - if not I'll post up a proper one.

So did I understand that ideally each appliance would have its own pipe to the stack. Since that would be hard, would I gain anything by having standpipes behind sink (for dishwasher) and washingmachine (for itself) rather than going in at the trap under the sink ?
