At least it was soap suds! :-)

Thanks, all, for the great input you've offered. I'm working a bit too much in the dark on this one, so I'm arranging a consulting session with a local plumber. I'll count on him to provide a design to follow. He'll also check my other work. :-) One last question, though... Terry...

Thanks for the reply. I remember seeing that setup in restaurant kitchens in my earlier days. I'll do it that way if that is what is needed. If you don't mind a followup question...Is the indirect setup any different than piping the washer outlet into the line just upstream of where the...

Hi, Am building a new laundry room in California. I really want to protect against overflows, so in addition to auto shut off valves for the washer supplies I am including a floor drain. I've read about trap primers and their use, and I also sense that folks don't like them. Those that...
