Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the advice on my other posts. I did pay a professional plumber to come out today and give me an overview of my work. He pointed out a couple of things that I was looking for validation on and that is fine, but he told me that there is a new code that requires Washing Machine drains to drain into a 3" pipe? I am located in Henry County Georgia.
How is that when the washing machine box has a 2" connection? I am also draining a utility sink into the same pipe so may that be the reason he told me I had to come up through the floor with a 3" pipe and then use a 3"x2"x2" sanitary t for the washer and then stack another 2" sanitary t on that for the utility tub and then up the wall with the vent off the top sanitary t?
I have attached a picture I found that is exactly what he is telling me to do and I added the comment about the 3" Drain??
Why would I need a 3" drain pipe for this setup?
Thanks much
