I am new to plumbing and I want to first say that I live in a small town and am trying to get a plumber to come out but timing is not working out for our schedule. I am quite versed in commercial building and electrical but never dabbled in plumbing. Well time to get dirty!!.
I am installing a washer box in an area with only a couple of inches below the floor joists. There is a drain that I can access in the floor joists if I do the following.
1. I installed the washer box about 42" above the main floor, then installed a 2" drain and a trap 8" below the box.
2. I then took it to the left on a slant where I want to pick up the sink. I have installed a sanitary t with the bottom going to the drain and the top going to the vent.
3. My question is can I tap into the drain coming down with a sanitary t to pick up the trap for my sink. I'm not sure on the codes for a trap below the washer box and I'm not sure if I will get suds in my sink. I will be tapping in 12" below the horizontal drain from the washer box for the sink and then continuing down to my drain to the sewer.
Thanks for anyones help.
