I just had a plumber here to look at my plumbing situation. I'm remodeling a bathroom, and want to move the tub and sink drains. Currently, the tub and sink join into the toilet drain as shown below.
I wanted to move the tub and sink to the opposite side of the bathroom. My thought was to abandon the current tub/sink drain and instead join them with a different branch that services something else, but needs to go from 1 1/2" line to 2" to be able to handle it.
Clothes washer, tub and lav would be on one branch. Washer does NOT have a tub, just a standpipe. If I understand what I'm reading, the washer is then 3 DFUs, and the tub and sink are 3. Which would require a 2" horizontal branch instead of the 1 1/2" there now.
Below is a picture of a tap into my stack. If I'm looking at it correctly, there's a 4" stack with a 2" tap on it, which is immediately reduced to a 1 1/2" line. Is there a way to cut out the 1 1/2" line and replace it with a 2" w/o removing the wye from the stack?
If not, I suppose I'll just cut out the PVC below it and add another branch instead.
