There is currently no water access in my basement.   I recently  purchased  a double laundry tub for which I need to establish a drain line.  The attached picture shows one of the main house drains descending from the first floor.  I can cut in a wye into the vertical portion of the drain just above the basement floor and then connect to the laundry tub.  I may have to raise the laundry tub so that I have an adequate drainage flow.  But, my questions are: 1) Are there any problems that I should be aware of in attaching a new drain line in this location?  2) Would the water in the P-Trap to be placed under the laundry tub be siphoned out by the water running down the vertical drain?  Any and all responses are greatly appreciated.
