Whats wrong with this picture?

I know! It is too small.

That's hilarious!

The wall is upside down.

There's no exhaust vent... fumes have nowhere to go...!

I assume, that the pipe is the vent. If it is venting then sink, a backup in the drain of the sink would fill the vent with water. It should be horizontal above the rim of the sink.

Nothing is wrong. I particularly like the anti-gravity sewer drain stack

Why in the world would someone install the toilet and sink before sheetrocking?

There's no TP Roll holder!

That, and probably a dry run for fitting.

Cannot decrease size of the vertical stack.. derp.

Ok -- where does it decrease?

reply to Plumber
The join in the pipes is upside down, isn't it

Water would flood and stand in the pipe.

Took a second to think about it. Looks like they were thinking fumes venting up instead of water flowing down.

Ok, I have a question related to that image:

-if I have a vent stack (2.5"PVC) added to a washer, above the trap exit, and that goes up to attic, how do I tie into main vent stack (4"ABS)? (yes, I have the green label adhesive)

In that picture, I would assume that is ok in the attic as the T is way above any water line of anything, and any gases would exit up? Or should the T fitting be straight in, not angle?

I need to tie in the vent to the main (long story but there never was a vent tie in to the 2nd floor washer and it changes all the toilet into bidets when the spin cycle starts...) LOL...no you DO not want to be taking at potty at same time doing the wash! Plumber told me that newer washers have more powerful pumps and being on 2nd floor, that the air in the stack is being forced toward largest opening (aka toilets). He said that without ripping up the floor/ceiling to see the layout, he suspected the washer should have had a drain straight down to the bottom main, with independent vent.

Thanks for the picture!

Is there an air break between the washing machine's discharge line and the sewer?

reply to aroberti
Because a toilet, in most cases, is more important than sheet rock?
