Thank you! That’s what I wanted to do since it would be easy and solve space issues. I just thought the cleanout had to be on the vertical portion, even though my vertical section is small, of the “stack”. I’m in the Houston TX area so I’ll have to see if I can get by with it on the horizontal...

Yea I should’ve just hired a pro. I’m not quite sure I understand your last reply. But now that I’m this far I wanna keep going. Also I’m going to alter the back of the cabinet to accommodate everything. No biggie.

Under the window is going to be the utility sink. Not the plastic kind but one that’s more like a bathroom vanity.

This should work right? Everything in this photo isn’t glued yet so I can make adjustments to add a 3” cleanout thank goodness.

Thank you for all the replies and help. That was my original plan but I read that the sink vent if done that way had to be minimum 6 inches above the sink rim. It was not going to meet that requirement since the countertop and sink were going to be right below the window. That is why I changed...

I think I might have enough room to squeeze in a cleanout at the bottom of the stack if I trim down the main stack a bit. That a 3inch to 2 inch reducer. (I think that’s what it’s called) by the way.

thank you! I guess I’m adding a cleanout at the base like you said. However I’ve already “glued” the part circled in yellow in my photo. So could I install the cleanout on the horizontal right before it goes down? I circled the area in green on my photo.

Thank you for the reply. Here is some additional background: The laundry room is a new addition and the drain goes down and out and connects to the sewer in the backyard and it has the appropriate sized cleanout in the yard, it doesn’t tie into the main stack of the house. I’ve seen small...

I’m doing my new laundry room plumbing I have a utility sink and to left of it is a washing machine. I have part of the plumbing done. See photo. The lines on the photo are not to scale, Do I need a cleanout or two cleanouts and where? Does the main drain at the bottom need one and or the sink...

I think this is what I need.

Thank you for the reply. One more question, where the bottom white 2 inch drain line in the mockup picture goes from horizontal down to the vertical drain down does that have to be a "long sweep" 90 elbow or will what I have work? See pictures. On a side note, that main drain will be concealed...

Where the orange line and white line connect to the horizontal line they can’t be sanitary tees correct? Also one last question, do I need a clean out and where should it be?

Thank you thank you for the reply! I think that is my solution. The orange line in your mock-up would still keep everything below the countertop hidden away. was just having trouble “thinking outside the box”.

Thank you for the reply. What would be a solution? Just use an aav for the sink?

I'm the Houston Texas area and we added a laundry room to the back of the house. It has a separate drain that connects to the sewer line in the yard and therefore it doesn't connect to the main drain/waste/vent stack in the house. I was reading that the sink vent has to be a minimum of 6 inches...

Here is some background: I'm the Houston Texas area and we added a laundry room to the back of the house. It has a separate drain that connects to the sewer line in the yard and therefore it doesn't connect to the main drain/waste/vent stack in the house. I have a front loading washing machine...

I found this thread while googling. In the picture posted by Terry, are those 2x4s that the pipe is going through? I thought you could only drill through a certain percentage of a 2x4 without compromising its structurally. Or is that not a load bearing wall? I have a similar situation like the...

I’m adding a laundry room to the back of the house and I’m in the Houston area. I branched off the main 4 inch sewer line in the backyard and went over to the new laundry room. Then I used a 4” to 3” 90 degree elbow to install a 3” DWV pipe vertically to go up into the laundry room 2x4 frame...

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I’d just ask my question here regarding my laundry room project. I think my question was answered earlier but I just wanted to clarify. So the vent/waste line for my laundry room that only has a sink and washer can be 2 inches? Or should it be 3 inches...

Edit to above post: After doing some googling on IPCodes I think my best bet is to have the cold water come from the house just like the hot water through the ceiling. I don’t think I have enough room in my small backyard to have the required code distances between my proposed waste line and...
