: I am relocating a washing machine. I was told that I don't need to vent the drain because air can get in around the drain hose. Is this true? Every fixture must be vented. And vented in a specific way. There are min and max for the p-trap height and the standpipe height. If air getting in eliminated the need for a vent, tubs and sinks with overflows would not need to be vented. Deb The Pipewench
