I have 2” ABS DWV pipe leading to a drywell which provides drainage for a utility sink, washing machine, forced air gas condensing furnace with A/C and steam humidifier.
The furnace w A/C and humidifier are in the garage. Behind them, separated by the utility room wall, are the sink and washing machine.
The furnace, A/C and humidifier drain into a condensate pump which pumps the water up through the wall and into the same inlet as the washing machine.
Since the 2” DWV pipe passes right next to the furnace (1ft away) I would like to get rid of the condensate pump and “T” into the DWV pipe. If it matters, the pipe distance from the washing machine to the furnace is about 10 ft.
The furnace condensate drain is 21” from the floor.
The 2” DWV pipe is 6” from the floor, thus leaving me 15” from furnace drain to DWV pipe.
My thought is to put a properly directed “T” into the DWV line with a trap and Oatey Sure-Vent.
Now comes the question:
Are the utility sink and washing machine likely to overflow through a DWV opening at 18” from the floor (12” from the DWV pipe)?
Thank you.
