Hello,
I am doing a bathroom remodel which includes a utility/mop sink next to a stacked full size front load washing machine (and dryer). This is what the plumber did. It looks like he used a wet vent for the Utility Sink using the drain for the washing machine. I think the p-traps for both the washer and utility sink are 1.5 inches, going into a 2 inch drain. He tells me this is fine because the wet vent it is less than 8 inches long and the 1.5 p-traps are going into a drain of increasing size. He says he sees this as more of a "stack vent/stacked vent" than a "wet vent". The actual vent is 1.5 inches which was already existing, and would have required lots of drywall to be removed upstairs to increase the vent size. What do you think? Will this be ok? Should he have just added a vent near the p-trap of the utility sink and connected it to the vent above the washer drain? My town inspector already inspected it and signed off, but I still thought I'd ask.
Thanks!
