    Changing Washing Machine in Basement

    I am planning on changing my washing machine from draining into my laundry sink into its own stand pipe. My laundry sink did not have a vent but wet venting up through the kitchen sink drain. I plan on adding 2 AAV's to take care of the venting for both the sink and washer drain. Does this make sense? Is the 4x4x3 wye correct on the kitchen sink drain? Are the 2 4x4x2 san-t's correct for each fixture? I assume the horizontal fitting to connect the AAV's would have to be a combo wye + 1/8 on its back facing the stack.

    Many codes do not permit a pumped drain to have an AAV.

    Check your local code.

    If an AAV is not allowed on the washer then a vent would have to be tied in above the kitchen sink. Check your local code!
