Hello,
I am in PA and have a washing machine in the basement which drains to a standpipe. There is a trap below the standpipe (under the slab). I am framing the walls and moving the washer to the other side of the room. The existing standpipe will be behind the new wall.
thanks
I am in PA and have a washing machine in the basement which drains to a standpipe. There is a trap below the standpipe (under the slab). I am framing the walls and moving the washer to the other side of the room. The existing standpipe will be behind the new wall.
- Am I able to run a 2" horizontal drain line behind my new wall from the new washer location to the standpipe?
- If so, how long should the vertical section of the 2" drain be at the washer hookup box before the 90 degree fitting which turns the drain horizontal?
- Is a second trap needed closer to the washer? The washer will be approximately 7' from the standpipe (see picture).
- If it is acceptable to have the trap so far from the washer, I assume there will be venting requirements. Would a vent be necessary and if so would it be at the origination near the washer or at the point where the horizontal section ties into the existing standpipe?
thanks
