Hello All,
Just joined the forum here and have a few questions about an upstairs laundry we're putting in. This is a 1960's split. We're converting a closet into a small laundry. Directly below this closet (with the same footprint) is a powder room on an at-grade slab. Sink and toilet only. The closet and powder are located at the front of the house. The main plumbing stack is in the center of the house and would be a pain to reach. I've demo'd the walls out of the upstairs closet thus far and can see the vent from the sink which goes straight out the roof above.
Now to my questions:
1) Can I tie the washer drain into either the toilet or sink drain below?
2) Is it ok to tie the washer drain vent into the vent pipe right there in the closet?
I would put the washer drain trap above the closet floor with a standpipe that' s 32" above the trap.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
