Currently working on a laundry room renovation. I'm located in Ontario Canada. The standpipe is not to code. My trap is under the floor in the basement, and there are two pipes, one of which is used as a standpipe, the other is just open, which I assume someone was using as a makeshift vent. Here is a picture of the current setup. You will notice in the picture a 4 inch pipe on the left. It's painted orange, but it is a vent.
From my research, I understand that the trap cannot be below ground, that the stand pipe must extend 18 - 30 inches from the trap, and that the trap must be 6 to 18 inches above the floor in the room. What I plan on doing is replacing the trap in the basement with a long sweep 90, then up into the laundry room to a sanitary tee (6 to 8 inches above the floor) then from the top of the tee 90 degrees to the left and connecting to the existing vent line, with the right of the tee going to my trap and standpipe.
Would this work? And if so, is there a rule as to how high the vent connection to the existing stack need to be? I'd like to connect it low so that the view is blocked by the washer once in place.
I've attached a crude photoshop drawing of my plan if that helps.
Thanks!
