I'm buying my drain pieces for a new laundry connection. My plan was to make the drain/trap 2" (all the way from the laundry box to where it enters the main 4" horizontal drain under the slab.) I was going to set up a dry vent (to connect in the attic with an existing vent) using 1.5"
I expected this to be a fairly common situation and figured the plumbing store would have a sanitary tee that is 2" on the side, 2" on the bottom and 1.5" (for the vent) on the top. However, I can't find that anywhere.
Now of course, I can just buy a 2/2/2 san-tee and put a 2"->1.5" reducer at the top for the vent pipe (I can do that, right?) but it got me thinking: Am I doing something odd here? If this was a common way to set up a laundry, wouldn't it be easier to find this part?
