I managed to get some pics today and decided I need to slowly make my way up from the basement. Here is generally what I am dealing with. After this picture I demolished the concrete tub, so that will be replaced with a laundry tub and the washer and dryer will be to the right of the sink. If you can see the orange wire powering the HWH, if you look behind you can kind of see a hole in the upper wall. This is where the stack will go up through the house.
My first question is related to draining the washer and laundry sink. Currently there is no drain for the washer, so I assume they put the overflow in the sink, and the sink had drained into the galvanized (I think) pipe on the bottom right (where the PVC is sitting). My plan if allowable would be to get rid of the galvanized drain and drain right into the 4" pipe on the left (other wall).
So, that wall would look something like this. That upper blue line is where my kitchen sink drain (2") will eventually tie into. I assume the WYE is the correct fitting?
The thing I am not sure about is what is the proper way to tie the laundry sink into the 4" pipe. I have it mocked up with the WYE in the orientation that would be easiest, but maybe not legal?
I was thinking of three possible ways to orient the WYE. The Three picture is similar to one, but rotated down toward the ground to lower my connection point. The Drain from the washer to the wall may run like 7 feet, so about 2" drop and it is probably running under the laundry sink. Maybe it is about 16" high by the time it hits the wall with the drain pipe.

Two:
Three:
My general questions.
1. For the 2" washer/sink drain into the 4", is the WYE a proper fitting or do I need a sanitary tee. Which orientation is OK, or can they all work?
2. If I put a 2" p-trap on the washer drain, can that vent the laundry sink. The washer will have it's own vent...I just need to figure out the best way to accomplish.
Before I get any further, am I headed in an OK direction?
TIA....Mike
