Hello all,
Well, thanks in part to this forum, I have proven to be so handy that the wife has a new challenge. She wants to know how possible it is to install a second dishwasher on a wall away from where the sink is.
Now, it happens that the electrical conduits to run a new circuit are right below that part of the wall, so that should not be a problem.
The big issue is the where the drain can go. The kitchen sink actually has a long nearly horizontal run (minimum pitch) under the basement ceiling to join the main sewer line just below where this dishwasher would go. [Our sewer line leaves the house just below grade instead of going vertically down into the basement floor.] Would it be OK to put a separate p-trap in the basement and connect with a wye into the end of the sink run where it joins the sewer line? Does there have to be a separate vent for the dishwasher if it still drains into the end of the sink line before the sewer?
Thanks.
