In the midst of a rehab of our laundry room. Picked lots of good info about venting here -thanks, Terry for the standpipe/sink picture! (lots of sweated joints- I learned about taking your tme,...

Thank you all. It seemed reasonable, but I wanted to have the perspective of someone with greater experience. As shacko says, it's often done in kitchen installs, say a gas cooktop. However hj's...

Thanks for the info, Billy_Bob. I think you're right from a practical perspective - making sure that there is enough depth at the knockouts to access them and their hardware.

Hi all,

Bought a house, built in 1938 with two remodels done in the late 90s. Electrical work was permitted, but is neither rational nor clean.
