Planning on adding a W/D.
Kitchen Drain/Vent/Stack would be 14 ft away from Washer.
I can run the 2" drain at a 1/4" per foot drop to existing drain/vent/stack.
Was planning on adding an AAV at the Washer.
Will this work for Ft. Lsauderdale Code ?

Thanks for any help.

Florida allows AAV's. My home built in 2007 is in Orange County With AAV's everywhere. Add the AAV after the washer trap. AAV's only allow air to enter.

Florida is IPC plumbing code.

918.4Location.​

Individual and branch-type air admittance valves shall be located a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) above the horizontal branch drain or fixture drain being vented. Stack-type air admittance valves shall be located not less than 6 inches (152 mm) above the flood level rim of the highest fixture being vented. The air admittance valve shall be located within the maximum developed length permitted for the vent. The air admittance valve shall be installed not less than 6 inches (152 mm) above insulation materials.
