Hey all,
Great forum you have here. I'm in the process of re-arranging my clothes washer, dryer and utility sink in my laundry room and could use a little help/advice. The washer was previously plumbed over the sink and I would like to plumb it through a standpipe instead.
In my proposed plan in the image below, the W is the washer standpipe and the S is my utility sink. I am wondering if the red line of plumbing is necessary in my case? I've seen the included image of the black ABS plumbing many times. It looks like the vent extends beyond view in the image, and I'm wondering if it extends to other fixtures perhaps?
And if the red line of plumbing is necessary, what purpose does it serve?
And, does it matter if the sink or the washer is higher than the other in the drain going through the floor? In the image, I have the washer below the sink, but I'd like to know ahead of time, if I have the option of changing that..
Thanks for any replies!
