How to connect stand pipe to McAlpine P-trap?

Should be really simple but has me stumped! But then I'm not a plumber. I have a McAlpine 1 1/2" anti-vac p trap (SC10V) that I am trying to connect a stand pipe to for my washing machine. The connection out to drain is a 1 1/2" multifit threaded end with plastic nut and washers - this is fine - I can get my PVC solvent weld pipe secure in that. The vertical connection is a non threaded '1 1/2" BSP' end with fixed rubber washer and a threaded nut. What size down/stand pipe can connect to this interface? No stand pipes come with a threaded end and my 40mm solvent weld pipe (presumably because it is a 43mm external diameter) doesn't fit. If I get a length of 40mm push fit waste pipe will that fit? I just don't see how the threaded nut would fix that in place?! What will the threads in the nut tighten on to on a bare pipe?

A 40mm compression pipe will fit better, the mcalpine traps have a plastic ring in the connection preventing solvent pipe from fitting. Alternatively purchase a flow plant bottle trap as they don’t have the plastic ring and accommodate all pipe types

Make sure it’s seated properly first other wise it will cross thread
Mcalpine fitting are the best

Get a reduction. Also you could modify the connection and fit a threaded connection with a rubber seal to fit on a bare pipe.
