Hello,
I've got a "unique" problem to try to solve. The previous owners of my house spliced into one of the plumbing stacks for the washing machine as shown in this picture:
I'd like to keep the existing pipe for the washing machine drain, but I'd also like to put in a sink down the wall from this about 16-20 feet. Since the p-trap is right at the stack, it would seem I need to eliminate the p-trap at the stack and then put a trap at the washing machine drop, and then again at the sink I'd like to install.
As you can see from the picture all of the joints are tight together with NO gap at all. There's about a 1/4" pipe showing at the T off the stack, but other than that everything is tightly fit, right to the floor. Starting again above the expansion joint is too high off the ground for the sink drain.
Anyone have any ideas how I could some how undo one of the abs joints so I can replumb things? Or what other options am I missing? I don't think it's okay to have a trap at the stack and then a trap on the sink later on, is it?
Thanks,
Tyler
