I am in the process of roughing in my cabin in WV. I am far away from a plumbing inspection, but while the inspector was there today inspecting framing (he inspects everything but electrical), he said my laundry/lav drain was not correct. I was not there and the builder was relaying what he said (I will call him tomorrow), but stated that the distance between the washer standpipe and the lav drain exceeded 30". I have searched and could find nothing on a code that states that. Measurements deal with trap distance from stack drain, but nothing about distance from one trap to another.
I have done my research and even consulted with a plumber friend here in VA and this arrangement passed the smell test before I even began. I even sent him the photo today and he said it looked fine. The inspector didn't cite a code but only showed an illustration on his tablet to the builder. Can anyone offer any insight as to what he may be referring to? He said the lav drain would have to be disconnected from the 2" stack and plumbed down through the floor into the horizontal run.
Thanks in advance.
