The wife wanted the washer and dryer relocated to an adjacent room with a utility sink installed for Christmas, so I started working on that today. The new laundry room is where the back garage office/mud room was, so drain lines come out through the wall into the garage and then back into the mud room area since the two rooms didn’t quite line up (a wall cavity will be built around the drain lines to hide and protect them. So I started working on extending the washer drain line, adding in a separate drain line for the new sink and made sure to run a dedicated vent line for the washer, all leading back to the main waste stack. 5 pm starts to roll around, kids are on their way home from daycare and I get into a rush to finish up gluing the drain lines before the boys (2 & 4) get home and want to be under foot while I’ve got the back half of the house all tore up. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the extra 4 inch trap arm I cut to come off the trap and into the sanitary tee to the drain and washer vent didn’t get used. Obviously I noticed this after I got everything cleaned up and sat and had dinner with the kids so by then it was way too late. Ignoring the sloppy primer drips because like I said, got rushed got sloppy, how bad is this judging by the photo? Should I plan on cutting the whole trap and sanitary tee area out and starting over to get the trap arm in there? Or because from the sanitary tee to the the actual waste stack there is a 4 foot run of sloped drain line will this still work without the trap arm in place?
Appreciate any advice.
