Hello. I have posted here before, and end up reading here quite often, not sure whats up with my username not showing..
I am in Michigan, and trying to add a utility sink into the basement for when I work down there.
I have an existing drain, schedule 30 3" with a Y and angled adapter, going into the floor drain with a cleanout.
I would like to put the utility sink to the right of this, which leaves me with 3 options as far as installing the sanitary tee.
1. putting the sink on risers..like 4x4's
to shore up the overall height, and then either running the drain into the existing drain stack with a sanitary tee 3x3x2
2. , cutting off the cleanout..running the drain into that, adding in some pipe, then the sanitary tee, then installing a new cleanout on top of the tee.
3. not putting on risers, and cutting the whole cleanout and fittings with it low to the ground, adding the new sanitary tee on top there, then reinstalling the existing y and angle joint to the main drain.
Option 3 sounds like the worst, IMO, and I'm leaning towards option 1. Just wanted to know if there are any specific rules here that force me to use a certain one of the above.
are there rules or code as to which of the two is better/allowed/not allowed?
