I want to move my laundry room from the basement to the mud room that is next to the kitchen on the main floor.
- The mud room currently has a drain that measures 1-3/8" OD and is metal (maybe brass, but it's painted) - so probably 1-1/4" drain. This drain does not connect to the 2" kitchen drain. It has a sink that will be replaced.
- The kitchen has a 2" drain & vent. The drain runs down (vertical) about 6 feet and then about 10 feet horizontal to the main 4" stack. The kitchen sink is the only thing currently connected to the drain - no dishwasher or food disposer. The 2" drain is also on the common wall between the mud room and the kitchen.
What i want is to move the washer and dryer to the mud room but i don't think that the 1-1/4" drain is sufficient for the sink & washer. I'll have the washer drain into the sink, either directly or to a vertical pipe connected just above the p-trap of the sink.
So what I was thinking of doing was connecting the mud/laundry room sink to the 2" kitchen drain.
- Is this possible?
- And if so then what about if i later want to add a dishwasher?
