I am moving my washing machine over about 39 inches, which means it will be about 40 inches or so from the current location of the 1 1/2 inch drain pipe.
In the pictures below you can see its current location next to the drain pipe and supply lines. I want to stack the washer and dryer and have them on the other side of the window in the picture. The 1 1/2 inch drain pipe has a proper trap, but no vent. I guess it needed no vent because it is right next to the main stack and therefore is "wet vented".
My question is whether I can use the existing trap, cut right above it, and run a horizontal pipe (with a slope) over about 40" to a new drain pipe location for the washer (on the other side of the window in the picture? do I need to add a vent? What is the best way to drain the washer after I move it over to the other side of the window in the picture?
Thanks for any suggestions
