I currently don't have a drain line near where I'm planning on installing my water softener. I'll be installing my water softener inside my garage directly on the opposite end of where the main water line is coming from outside.
I'm planning on drilling a hole through the sheet rock and stone siding and routing my drain line from inside the garage outside to the cleanout at the flower bed. Researching through this forum I found that it should be ok as long as I have a stand pipe, p-trap and an air gap then I can connect to my cleanout line. The stand pipe, p-trap and air gap will be inside the garage next to my water softener.
I'll be getting a wye or tee and connecting it directly to where the clean out is at. One end will be connected to the new drainage line. The other end will have a cleanout cap on it.
Just wanting confirmation that this plan should be ok.
My next question is that I'll be drilling a hole through my stone siding and would like to minimize the hole size as much as possible. What is the smallest pipe diameter I should use for a drain line will it be 1 1/2"? Also, any of you have tips on drilling a hole through stone siding? I'll probably use a diamon/carbide hole saw and add water to it while drilling it.
