S-Trap?

551 views of this thread and only 5-6 comments as to whether the drain for the washer (not incuding the AAV) is proper. Are there no plumbers in the home inspection ranks?

Run that picture by an experienced plumbing inspector or an experienced, licensed plumber. Will be interesting to see their reponse.

What are you trying to illustrate or say with that graphic, Marcel?

The Canadian plumbing code says in Pipe Fittings Section 2.4.1

"A T fitting shall not be used in a drainage system except to connect a vent pipe."

We must use a Sanitary T in the location in which you are calling for a "tee"

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Sanitary tee
A sanitary tee is a tee with a curved center section designed to minimize the possibility of siphon action that could draw water out of a trap. The center connection is generally connected to the pipe which leads to a trap (the trap arm).
