I need assistance on how to correctly vent a washer machine. I currently have the walls exposed on a home that I am remodeling and want to get opinions on how to proceed. The washer is a Spacemaker (compact) that currently has a 1 1/2" standpipe going into a 1 1/2" drain which feeds into the main house 3" drain that is under the slab.
The first picture is a graphical depiction of what I currently have and the second picture is my attempt at correctly venting the washer. The washer is currently 111" away from the existing kitchen sink vent and I know I need a vent < 3' 6" from the weir of trap for the washer. The second picture is my attempt at correctly attaching a vent in this situation.
I know that I should have a 2" standpipe and 2" drain but I can not get to the connection where the 1 1/2" drain connects to the 3" main building drain. Should I replace the 1 1/2" with a 2" and then I would only have a small section of 1 1/2" pipe feeding the main drain (less then 8").
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
