A
- The minimum required size of a trap and fixture drain for a clothes washer is 2 inches.
- 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.
