I've purchased a 1929 home with a basement, and would like to locate the laundry down there. The previous owners drained via a standpipe w/ p trap toa floor drain. I would like to move the washer to a more convenient location on the other side of the basement. There is no drain there, but the main dwv does run along that wall.
I will check to make sure my washing machine can pump to the correct height, but I would like to make sure my idea would work.
Right now, I have a 4" horizontal DWV run, about 4ft above the floor of the basement. I would like to install a T or WYE (which would be appropriate here?), a p-trap, and short vertical standpipe for the washer to drain into. The standpipe would only be about 2 ft tall. I realize it should be more like 3 ft.
Would this system work?
I've attached a diagram to better describe what I'm talking about..
Thanks in advance for the help..
