Hi,
I have a basement laundry set up with a sink draining to an ejector pump, with the laundry draining into the sink. I would like to re-plumb so the washer has it’s own standpipe rather than draining into the sink - it’s just a cleaner setup. Existing piping into the ejector pump is 1-1/2”, so I should upgrade to 2” for the standpipe (I think Massachusetts code actually allows 1-1/2” for laundry standpipes, but seems risky of overflow). Was thinking I could keep the existing sink trap and replace the horizontal going into the pump with 2” to run to the standpipe and tie the sink in with a reducing tee or wye (not sure which fitting would be correct for this application). Any advice is appreciated!
