Utility SInk

[Twowaxhack]

Unfortunately if you can’t get the drain lower, you’ll need to raise the sink.

Looks like you used a 2” wye then a 2x2x1.5 regular tee.

You might could’ve saved some room had you used the fittings there I suggested, but maybe not.
2x2x1.5” wye and a 1.5” Street tee.

You could also use a level and make sure you do not have too much pitch. All you need is 1/4” per ft but it would be fine to have a little less right there, it gets plenty of water volume to clean itself.

Let me know if I can help if you have questions. Your work looks very good.

Thank you, I had already bought the fittings and I guess I thought it wouldn't make that much difference. Live and learn I guess . I'll try using a level. I was able to get it to connect with the end of the run lower but I was fixated on getting a 1/4 per foot pitch across the entire run.

You could cut the cast iron off, you have room.

1/4” is code, you’re correct.

I thought about that but didn't have the tools for that job but that may be the best option.

Get one of these for your Sawzall, they work great.

Legal or not, no one should use a rubber tee

Things like that use to bother me. Now I don’t care.

If it leaks, replace it.....it’s not hidden or concealed in anyway. It’s a homeowner job, not a professional.

I would argue that the rubber tee is more reliable than a wax seal under a toilet.......

I respect your opinion on it for sure. I respect your opinion more than the beloved plumbing code.

I respect the intent of the code but taken as written the code will have you doing things that in the real world doesn’t make a difference in how the system operates in your particular application.

The OP could’ve laid a San tee on its back to catch that laundry sink and it would not hurt anything but someone’s feelings.

But for the record, I asked him to use a 2” street San tee. I even posted a link to buy it.

Thanks again for all the advice. I really appreciate it. For the record. I used the rubber tee because I felt I had no choice. It saved me almost 2 inches and now that I have cut off the iron I am as low as I can possibly get it. I was able to connect the sink without raising it. I call the project complete and if it needs to be replaced at some point becuase a new home owner doesn't like it they will have to remove the sink.
