Hello,
I have a small house and the kitchen and laundry are in the same room. The kitchen and garage share a wall.
I want to move the washer about 6 ft along the same wall out of the kitchen.
I was thinking to run the new plumbing on the garage side instead of ripping out the drywall and going through the studs.
I have done enough plumbing on burst pipes to have a good idea on how to do the job if I take my time.
Q1: Do you think this is a good idea? Please suggest if you see other options.
Q2: Does this solution comply with building codes? I live in Connecticut.
Thank you,
DanE.

the hot and cold pipes are the easy part. the drain and vent are more difficult as you must conform to your local plumbing codes.
when you get the wall open you can post a picture and someone here will help with layout..

1. If that is what you want, then it is a good idea
2. The way the drain is probably installed, you may not be able to move it that far without adding a local vent to it, which would require removing a lot more wall area.
