I've got plently to keep me busy these days, so I thought I'd hire out the plumbing for a laundry/mud room addition. So I get three plumbers, all recommended, with three different ways of tying in the clothes washer drain. Not surprising I suppose. In order of low to high bid:
1) Tie laundry drain into a 2-inch horizontal drain, downstream of a kitchen sink and dishwasher; upstream of where the bath group connects to the main 3-inch horizontal. Seemed like a bad idea to me, but he countered that it would be unlikely that all three fixtures would be in use at once.
2) Tie laundry into 3-inch horizontal downstream of bath group. This would require about 20 feet of 2-inch. That should work...
3) Change 2-inch horizontal to 3-inch; tie 2-inch laundry drain in downstream of kitchen and upstream of bath group. Seems the best solution to me as I could go ahead and have him rough in for a sink in the laundry room as well.
I'm curious as to which way the plumbers on this board would do it.
Thanks,
