I am moving into the apartment upstairs in the building I am renovating. The place came with a stacked washer/dryer combo unit that I have to move from its original location. The only place I can find that it makes sense to relocate it is in the corner of the oddly shaped kitchen. My question is about the proper drain system for the washer. The old location looks like it drained into 1 1/2 inch pipe. I was always used to a washer draining into a laundry sink. My question is, can I tie it into the kitchen sink drain, which is also 1 1/2" pipe, without a laundry sink? Would I need a standpipe or something to hold any excess water form the washer? If that would work, it would solve many problems! Thanks!
