OK since I posted the PDF from Lincoln County (see thread here) I have a question stemming from the Washer Rough-in on Page 11.
Helpful Plumbing Hints for Residential Construction by Bert Polk Plumbing Inspector Lincoln County
He indicates that the P-trap should be between 6"-18" off the floor. I was aware that the standpipe s/b between 18"-30" off the floor, but not about the P-trap.... what is the purpose of that requirement (what are they trying to prevent)?
Also, where is the measurement of the P-trap height taken from--where it enters the drain line? or the bottom of the P? or what? (and what if it's a horizontal drain line?)
Finally, is it OK for the cleanout to be in the 1.5" vent? or need it be 2"? (I actually didn't realize a CO was necessary at all, b/c I figured they could just snake down the SP, but apparently the snake cannot get thru the P-trap--is that right?
Thanks in advance!
