    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
