Should I have put a 3”clean out here?

[BlueGoldfish]

First time doing DWV work...

Adding a new washer stub out. Even though I only needed 2” sewer - I ran 3” underslab to this location incase I ever remodel and want a toilet here. I reduce to 2” coming out the slab and then it’s all 2” from there including vent. Of course right after I glued that ptrap I am second guessing if I should have done a 3” clean out at the slab before the reducer.

Wondering if
1. This would pass as-is with the 2” cleanout
2. It’s ok to rely on 2” opening to snake. This is the end of the 3” line.

Fwiw - my county is on UPC.

Unless that 3" connects to a drain within 5ft that has a cleanout then yes, you should have installed a 3" cleanout. The required minimum opening of a cleanout for a 3" drain is 2.5".

The problem with having too small of an opening is that your equipment can get twisted around and stuck inside of a drain. We just had that happen in a high rise (caused by improperly/backwards installed fittings) which is a nightmare to track down and fix.. especially getting that stuck under a slab.

Might as well get a 3x2 tee for the washer connection otherwise what's the point?

If I understand this comment correctly I would install a 3:3:3 sanitee coming out the slab (with a cleanout), and then a 3:3:2 sanitee branching 2" off to p-trap and then a 3:2 reducer above that to the 2" vent.

Is this any different from installing a 3:3:3 sanitee coming out the slab (with a cleanout) and then 3:2 reducer, then 2:2:2 sanitee branching to p-trap and vent?

Or did you mean to install one of those funky 3:3:3:2 hub sanitee things like this:

so that it just a single fitting?

The point of having 3" at washer was simply to be able to convert to a toilet flange in the future by just breaking concrete in that area vs having to break 10 ft back to nearest 3" branch.

3 inch cleanout tee. Then 3x2 santee with a bushing

So many ways to do that in Seattle. The 3" cleanout is for end of line.
The washer needs a 2" drain. Anyway you put that together works.

The easiest way to get a 3" CO is to use a 3" CO tee and a 3x2 bushing in the top.

All fixed. Thanks for the help!

Btw - I’m blaming the concrete guys for the lean on my 3” coming out the slab

 

[Tuttles Revenge]

Looks good even with the custom lean.

Just curious, is that a street 60 and street 45 just above the 3x2 reducer, to fix the lean? Those two elbows look different and I was trying to figure out why.

I believe that's a Street 22°

i think that is correct. it was whatever the right combination i needed to get the vent plumb. wish they labelled them clearly on the ABS - seems like I'm always trying to guess a 45 vs a 60 or something...

 

[wwhitney]

So a 22.5 and a 45? Just trying to understand why they look so different. Not an issue.

Thanks, Wayne

Will you add a water softener? Now would be a good time to think about that.

It's always the concrete guys.

Wasn’t planning on. We are on the softer side of spectrum for water. This is a relocate of existing laundry that doesn’t have softener and hasn’t been a problem. I did consider one of those ozone machine things to eliminate detergent - but decided it’s probably snake oil after watching a few comparison vids.

OK, I was being dense--given that the net offset is so small, the two elbows have to be the same bend. So I'm still confused as to why they look so different (not that it matters).
