Have a look at this pic and tell me what's wrong...Please...and what would be up to code

THis is a bath sink drain. the pipe coming through the wall on the left is coming from a kitchenette sink onthe other side of the wall... I just want to know if there is any way in hell that is code, if not i'm okay taking our the kitchenette sink and just plumbing the bathroom alone. If I do plumb the bath sink alone, is it okay to have the clean out there or should that be another fitting?

1. it's 1.5" ABS with sani T with cleanout as it goes into 2" in the wall... Is that code?
2. is it okay if the sink drain goes into the wall there into a 2" and on the other side of the wall there's another sink drain that goes into it too.
3. Is it code to have the kitchen sink come into the bathroom sink like that?
4. re: question 2, If that's not code, is there away to tie that in that is code or no go

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

it's wrong. as long as the lav isn't wet venting the rest of the bathroom and the lav drain stack is at least 2" then you can do this, if not then you'll have to do something else.

Thank you James.
I did some more digging and added a drawing of everything that ties into this 2" pipe. Can I do what you proposed even though theres a 2" on the other side of the wall that drains the water heater and utilities?

And...is it okay to run that kitchenette drain around the corner and them do the over under that makes the vent and the drain in your drawing?

It's just a 2" P trap close to the wall in that room to collect the over flow from the water heater and condensation from the furnace.

Thanks James. I'm putting in for permit and will have to get inspection, I just want to make sure I'm not way off base from the start.

Now that I see it I don't think that would pass an inspection. I don't know what that trap is for, is it for the water heater pop off ? If it is it has to be 6" off the floor and into a drain pan then run it through the wall to the outside of the house

"Water heater and furnace drain" -- I understand furnace drain. Is that water heater part a condensation drain for a hybrid electric water heater, or something else?

Here's a pic if the drain. This is the utility room that backs up to the bath and kitchenette where I want to do the work.

I am thinking of doing all the work on this side of the walls just behind the water heater so I don't have to do anything to mess up my cosmetic stuff on the bathroom side or the in the kitchen... Does that seem like a doable plan?

I see a T&P valve terminating in a p-trap with a trap primer. The fact that it is tied in so close to the other sink drains is a safety hazard and I don't believe any inspector would approve it. I would remove it and run the T&P valve drain straight down towards the floor until I could find another route. With the p-trap out of the picture you will probably get approved.

It'll pass inspection in Washington State. I've done many, many times.

Right, not doing water heater...just going to do the work from this side of walls so I don't mess with bathroom drywall and vanity, and kitchen counter....easy to access from this side.

hey guys, thanks for the help. I was wondering if i;m going to fail bc this is a wet vent and i'm tieing in a bar sink to bathroom wet vent system? Kitchen sink would not be allowed, but what about bar sink? I'm still not sure about having all these fitting adding up on the 2" line in such close proximity. i've never seen anything done this way....
