    Hello to all. Thanks for your time and help. I am trying learn so I can do things right.
    Working to the IPC.

    I saw this sketch showing a washing machine rough in.
    It is my understanding that the washer can't be wet vented.
    Can the sani-tee's be reversed or will the washer then drain the sink trap?

    In Terry's picture of roughing two sinks:
    Could the drain for the right sink be used for a washer standpipe as long as:
    The drain in the floor is 2".
    The washer standpipe, trap and inlet on lower wye is 2".
    All vents and left drain for sink is 1-1/2".
    1-1/2" out of top of right sani-tee and out of top of lower wye.

    I wanted to mark the sizes on the picture but am not there yet.

    Thanks,
    Jim

    The green drawing works if properly sized. The washer needs 2" with a 2" trap and standpipe.
    A laundry sink is 2" with a 1.5" trap
    A kitchen sink is 2" with a 1.5" trap
    A bathroom lav can be 1.5" and either a 1.5" trap or 1.25"

    Just to be clear all venting is OK at 1-1/2"?

    Venting for the washer, sink and lav can be 1.5"
    Toilets get 2"
