Hi All,
I have been researching this and have not seen an exact scenario but I am hoping that I have come to the correct answers. If someone can review my potential install that would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to add a utility sink drain to my existing washer drain plumbing. I have an existing 2 inch drain coming out of the slab and a santee going to a 2inch washer drain and trap to the right, the vent going up is a 1.5 inch with a cleanout installed (plug is facing out of the wall). I am trying to replace the santee with a double fixture tee and add a 2 inch sink drain going to the left.
My issue is that I do not want to cut through the 3 studs and dryer vent that would be in the way as this is under the stairs anyway. Can I have the sink drain come out and go around the studs and then thru the drywall for the sink trap as shown in EX 3 (my current situation) and EX1 (an example I found online)? Will this cause any drainage issues?
Also, the 2inch sink drain arm will be about almost 4 feet in length, will that cause any issues considering the washer drain arm is much much shorter, about 1 foot maybe? As shows in EX 2?
Thanks for any feedback you can provide.
