    Down vent?

    I am removing batt insulation from my box sill and came a crossed this. It says down vent on the inside of the fitting. Any idea what it is for? It is between the laundry and kitchen sink. The plumbing in the basement is roughed in and the down vent is in the general area of the rough in...

    Okay thank you, so if I use the double fixture fitting both the washing machine and sink can share the existing vent?

    Does that additional vent need tied in within a certain distance? Stand pipe height on the washer is 32''? Anything I need to know about the height for the laundry sink drain?

    Thanks for the replies thus far. I was finally able to open up the wall. What I found looks pretty straight forward. However, there is a pipe coming out of the basement floor, into the wall (on the left), and capped. I do not understand the purpose of this pipe. I was thinking it was the...

    I guess I can't picture how I would vent the existing stand pipe as there is very little room to work with

    Thank you for your reply. Oddly enough that photo you shared is one I found doing a google image search. I can't wrap my head around how to make that work in my configuration. I've made a crude edit to these photos, hope it helps and doesn't insulate anyone's intelligence.
