It has a trap but it may require a backwater valve depending on its elevation relative to the sewer.

Oops ![icon_redface.gif](upload://f7DX2EWhmUfsDapWaYT3oJHMCj1.gif) I meant to type "sewer." I was on the phone.

I can’t remember right now but I think it only has to be 20" or 30" high with a trap & must be 2" pipe minimum. In other words it has to be higher then the water level in the washer to not over flow. If the washer was to drain to a laundry tub the hose is only an inch higher than the tub. In this case the height should not be measured from the floor but from the main sewage line out the wall. It also looks to have plenty of slope.
