Hello,
I am making a 1 bedroom apartment in my basement and want to put in one of those small stacked washer/dryer combos so I'm trying to figure out how to drain the washer. In the small HVAC closet, there is a 2" drain in the floor that the A/C drip line drips into (I'll include a photo). I cut up the concrete and the existing drain has a p trap and I moved it over several feet and then am adding another p trap for the washer using all 2" pipe. So currently, the existing drain is upstream of the underground T where the washer pipe comes in. From that T, there is a 2nd underground P trap for the washer and than that pipe goes straight up to where I'll install the washer valve/drain box. I believe the discharge tube on those small washers are 1-1.25". I haven't closed anything up in case I need to modify something. Thanks!
