Opened up the wall & here is 2 pics
Thanks
Rob

Great pics, but I'm having a hard time seeing it clearly. It looks like there is indeed a p trap near the floor? Or does the washer drain go straight into the floor(which would be a no no). If there is a trap, can you move some more insolation and post yet another pic of the piping that it connects to.
A second, third and fourth look make me really think there is a trap there, so I'm betting there's a vent just to the right.. This is a very good thing. If it's there, this is the vent and drain that you will want to connect back into.

Unfortunately no trap just an elbow... looks like it leads to a big cleanout (shown in pic)
Hope this helps
Thanks

We do get a lot of soap suds coming up through the floor drain to the right of the big cleanout if that help at all.

OK.. forget about the piping between the washer and dryer... the traps missing so I would just cap this all off when you are finished repiping the new washing machine location.

The 2" pipe coming out of the ground that reduces to an 1.5" vent is OK. Here, you can have a waste line on the drain pipe like your sink, but at about 42" it turns into a vent. You can now tie other vents into this vent.

Check out my pics. below.

Cut into the existing 2" coming out of the floor, but cut in below the 2" for the sink. Run that pipe over to the washer at 1/4" pitch per foot of pipe. Install the 2" ptrap with a 30" minimum standpipe. Reduce the vent to 1.5" and run back to the vent as discussed above and connect into it with an inverted sanitray tee fitting.

Hang the pipes every 4 feet and install cleanouts as mentioned previously. Use long sweep elbows ONLY for the drain piping. You can use regular pattern 90s for the vent. The vent pitches from the vent to the drain.

Finally, you may want to consider installing a washing machine box (see last image) if you want to install all this piping inside the studded wall I see... ;)

If you want to put your laundry sink over by the washer let us know and we'll pop up a diagram showing you how to pipe all that up properly!

Hope that is more clear...

Thank you so much Mark
That is exactly what I needed & yes we do want to install a sink in the new laundry room ( would like to use our stainless steel kitchen sink if possable).Hope this doesn't complicate things too much.

Again thank you very much this explains every detail.. Good job
