I added a Utility Tub to my laundry room. I tied the into a 2" Horizontal PVC Drain using a 2" Sanitary Tee (instead of a Wye). I just realized that this may not be code since Tee's are mainly for Vertical drains. Is this going to cause problems for me?
Thanks in Advance, -a12vman
Did you pull a permit? Does it work? If no and yes, then no.
You can usually use either as long as the flow is the right way. Often the choice is based on the space you have to work in. A Wye poses less of a restriction to larger solid waste. For a Tub, I think it is OK.
I pulled a permit and was a little disappointed when the inspector only listened to me describe the work while he stood in the middle of the room and pronounced "sounds great to me" When I asked if he even wanted to turn on a faucet, he said "I would if you were a contractor but homeowners who dare to do this work usually do it above code" I was thinking "whatever"
the main problem is that you may not be able to get a cable to go thru the fitting. if the horizontal run already has a cleanout, it's not a big deal.
only if you have to snake it.
