Q
  1. Automatic clothes washer (domestic).
A
  1. The minimum required size of a trap and fixture drain for a clothes washer is 2 inches.
  2. Where connection is made to a fixture branch, horizontal branch drain or drainage stack,the minimum required size is 3 inches in diameter. (This is because the discharge rate for an automatic clothes washer has increased to 21 gallons per minute.
  3. Where a clothe s washer discharges to a laundry sink there is no problem with the high-speed pump. The capacity of the laundry sink allows a slower discharge flow rate to the fixture drain.
  4. A clothes washer must discharge to the drainage system through an air break.
