I'm planning on doing a little renovation in my laundry room which will involve replacing, or rebuilding, the laundry room sink cabinet (an old poor looking Duratub utility sink). We use the washing machine every day so I'm thinking of just installing a standpipe for the few days that there will be no utility sink. I'm looking for the easiest and cheapest (since it will just be used a short time) way of doing this.
The current sink has a trap inside the cabinet with a pretty standard cheap 1 1/2 slip joint P trap installed. I don't know if the connection to the drain in the wall is 2" or 1 1/2". I've included photos of the trap below.
I'm hoping that I can just insert a 2 foot 1 1/2" pipe into the P trap slip joint but I'm unsure if it would be sufficient. I'm also not sure if a 1 1/2" schedule 40 pipe has the same OD as the sink tailpiece and if it will fit into the P trap slip joint.
Any thoughts on this or other suggestions?
My washing machine is a 15+ year old Whirlpool front loader. Right not the sink drains pretty well. Would the couple feet of 1 1/2 pipe be enough? I don't know if the drain pipe stub in the wall is 2" or 1.5" but I presume the slip joint coupling glued to it is for 1 1/2" trap in any event so I don't see a way to inexpensively change the drain to a 2" P trap. The only basic inexpensive P traps I see are 1 1/2".
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
The foil pan is actually to catch drips faucet makes when it's on - it will be replaced. Trap isn't leaking.
