Sounds like a 3 way valve to me. Try a plumbing supply store.

I ran a 1" PVC pipe to the outside. The pipe extends to 42" above the floor. Living on a slope, I was able to empty the pipe into a 32 gallon trash can. From there I pump it with a sump pump to where I need the water.

Had a bit of a problem though. When the washer pump starts, the gush of water caused it to come out of the pipe, where the hose goes in. I put in a tee, nipple and elbow near the floor and ran another pipe up to about five feet. This took care of the surge.

BTW this may be in violation of your plumbing code.

In most houses there is a pipe with an elbow sticking out of the wall that is connected to the main sewer pipe in most utility rooms. the washer has a hose that connects to this stand pipe. In my town the washer hose fits inside the stand pipe and uses a wire clip that is on the standpipe and you run the hose through the large loop and this keeps the drain pipe connected to the stand pipe. you can seal the washer hose in the stand pipe with electrical tape at the point the pipes intersect. Anyway this is done in a lot of places. if you have to tap into a drain, make sure you put in an elbow to stop sewer gas.
