Robert Jones Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 The garage was converted into a mother in law unit. The waste line you see is attached to the washing machine. Besides the obvious of the gray water emptying into the city runoff(running into a tight line), what about that air vent?

msteger Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Is that an AAV installed outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resqman Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Is there a P trap for the washer? What about water freezing in the exposed pipe. What about PVC not rated for direct exposure to sunlight? How about improper slope of the pipe and lack of support for the vertical pipe. Why install an air vent when it can be directly vented to the exterior? This is definitily DIY and does not meet any plumbing standard. Condem the entire thing and replace by a licensed plumber.

Robert Jones Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Agreed. We had a good laugh on site. What you see there is directly from the washing machine. No P trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no need for the AAV.[:-taped] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
