Join Two Washers Into One Drain

The dishwasher which is drained to the disposal never has problems but the other sometimes gets water coming back into it.

Join two washers into one drain.

The plumber hooked one up to the disposal and one to the branch tail piece. Both washers are about 5 years old. We have had our maytag washer and dryer hooked up for many years in our basement without any problems. I have always wanted to have a second washer hooked up to make washing that much faster.

One automatic clothes washer per standpipe. It is unlikely but i don t want to go into the garage one morning and find a big puddle. For the water hookup i believe i should be able to split the existing faucets and. Would extending the 1 1 2 inch drain to an additional washing machine cope if both washing machines did actually drain at the same time.

We recently got a kenmore washer from friends who upgraded. Here is my question. If you don t have a 3 horizontal line newish code you ll want to upsized that as well. Had a new home we did about 4 years ago where there was a single drain sink with a dishwasher on each side.

The soil stack currently has a toilet small sink and 1 1 5 inch drain from the washing machine separately connected. So you can probably wye into the 3 horizontal drain line as long as you aren t exceeding the dfus for that pipe but don t connect to the existing standpipe. The thing is that there s only one waste pipe and that s already used by the washing machine.
