Hello all,
I searched this site on this question, and I think (hope) what I want to do is OK.
Presently my ac condensate line is plumbed via 1/2" PVC to a vertical, open (to the air) drain pipe in the basement concrete floor. There is an "air gap" and the condensate line is not solidly connected to the floor drain pipe. The vertical floor drain pipe is presently open to the air, and is not sealed.
I want to install a new utility sink in the basement, and plumb the sink drain to the pipe which is used by the ac condensate. I propose to use a DWV wye, with the vertical (straight) leg for the utility sink drain, and the wye leg for the ac condensate. The 1/2" PVC condensate line would be run loosely into the wye, therefore maintaining the air gap with no solid connection.
Is this OK? If not, how would I plumb the two drains properly, utilizing a shared drain pipe in the floor? Thanks.
