Can I plumb a washer 14 feet away from stack

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a repost hoping we can pick up where we left off

My washer & dryer is in the middle of my basement & I would like to move it to the other side of the house the only problem is it would be 14 feet from the main stack & vent.. Is this OK or what would I have to do to plumb it in (do I have to vent through the roof )

Thanks for your time
Rob

Yep. You can plumb and vent it anywhere you want. The drain on the washer is a gravity drain so that has to run downhill slightly but everything else will work regarless

Thanks John

I did repost this question because I read somewhere that if the answers stop (they get forgotten)I should post again.I really need to know if the 1 1/2" pipe is a vent (don't understand why there is a cleanout on that pipe)

Thanks again
