I am planning on moving the washing machine to the other side of my basement so it can sit next to the dryer. My basement is mostly finished minus where the laundry and HVAC system is.

My concern of moving the washer is the drain. I would have to route the pipe almost 20ft back to it's original drain. If I'm not mistaken I need a vent no more than 60" from the p-trap. Can I get away from another vent line? Or will a new vent line routed with the new drain of that length give me future issues?

Please let me know your thoughts and also if I need to be more clear on something.

Thanks

by my code a vent 20 feet away is useless.
check your local code as an AAV may be legal but even that does not work well on a pumped drain.

Or a basement drain.

If you need the washer and dryer together, why not move the dryer instead?

Wish I could do that. I don't have the space between my HVAC system and the laundry room door.

put a utility sink next to the washer and drain into that

pipe it out 2" with a 1.5" trap and a 1.5" vent pitched upwards back to your original vent (or an AAV as a last resort if code allows)


perhaps someone else could explain it better?

Why use a sink, when the same amount of work will give him a standpipe for the washer?

precisely

then he ALSO has a sink to use
