I first want to start off my question by letting you know that I am in a suburb just outside Chicago, but still in Cook County. The Village i live in follows the IPC 2009 Code. I am trying to gain some space to perform a bathroom model next year for my 1950's raised ranch home. I am gaining some extra space by getting a new front loading stackable washer and dryer and moving them from an existing hall wall to a utility room. I want to make sure i am putting in the proper drain pipe setup, considering the space constraints i have. I am posting a very crude sketch of the main wet wall in this basement utility room, and the side wall the washer\dryer will be moving to. I am also having a new utility sink installed. All of this work is going to be done by myself, in fact i have already put things in place. (my building codes for my area states that for residental any general plumbing work costing less than $250 needs no permit). I am concerned that i might have installed everything putting an air admittance valve in the wrong location. (I am concerned that the existing drain pipe i branched off of won't have enough back pressure to drain the washer)
Thanks in advance for any help you can lead my way!
