Hello...
New to the forum...
I have a laundry room renovation plumbing question on proper waste lines for a clothes washer and sink.
We moved into a home built in the mid 60's with a septic system and was later converted into street sewer.
This laundry room has had a dual laundry tub and the clothes washer was wasted into one of the laundry tubs. Had never had any drainage problems with the tubs having used them for cleaning and other uses.
Now we wish to redo the laundry room into a mini kitchen and laundry room. The room is large and has access to the garage and family room.
The laundry tubs drain into a drain pipe in the concrete floor connecting into a bathroom about 15 feet away which in turn connects into the waste line into the street.
There is no vent pipe from the laundry tubs or floor drain, just the 2" drain from the laundry tubs into the main waste line. The wall behind the laundry tubs is stairs leading down to the basement with no wall access to vent to the roof. The wall to the left of the current laundry tubs is 42"high concrete turning into studs which make the brick exterior of the front entrance.
We would like to change the layout and move/change the laundry tubs and make just a single 30" kitchen style sink and add a laundry outlet to service the washer.
The run for the washer outlet would be about 65-70 inches, connecting to the sink waste, then continuing about 50 inches, make a 90 turn then about 40 inches into the current drain.
I prefer not to vent to the outside as It is the entry way. I was thinking about installing a loop but I am unsure as to where and how long/wide to go or if it would work.
Could someone please suggest a diagram to properly plumb for this problem?
Thanks
