I did some reading/youtube before proceeding with plumbing to add a laundry sink to my basement (above ground/walkout) next to the washer.
How can I correct the plumbing in the photo(s)?
As you can see from the photos, the I tapped into the 2" drain with a fernco tee on the left, then 2 x45 elbows to realign the drain, followed by a sanitary tee (reading this forum I know believe this is a code violation, even though there is no leak when the HE washer drains), then continuance onto the washer weir/trap. The distance from the fernco tee to the center of the washer trap is 3.5", and there is a 1.25" grade/slope.
I did not want to nor attempted to remove the 2x45elbows below the fernco tee since I feared complicating anything mistake.
The studs are not weight bearing (and are against a cast concrete walkout basement wall anchored horizontally with 3.5" tapcoon screws).
The city plumbing code refers to the international code.
Thank you
