Our washer and dryer were previously in the kitchen. I installed french doors and am moving the washer and dryer to the new laundry area about 8 feet away in a closet. I have the hot and cold lines ran which are pex. My question is with the drain pipe and venting.
I planned to copy the p trap and standpipe dimensions exactly since I know they are up to code. The previous set up went from the p trap then dropped 90 degrees through the floor, exited out of the floor at a 45 degree angle, made a small run and straight into the drain line. There was no vent pipe exiting through the roof. This drain line is tied into the kitchen sink line which is vented. Is this correct? Can I just run a new section of drain pipe straight into the line like it was previously?
It is in a straight line from the old set up but the pipe will be about 7 feet longer total. The drop will still be 1/4 per foot.
