Washer drain

[Stuart Richman]

Hi,

I'm redoing my laundry room and want to move the washer about 7 feet farther away from the utility sink.

Will I be able to run the drain hose that far or should I move the utility sink next to the washer?

If I need to move the sink, what is the best way to move/set up the sink drain?

Thank you

They sell washer drain extensions. You can use that to cover the distance.

So no problem to pump the distance and up into the sink?
