Hello!
I was wanting to move my washing machine and dry to a different part of the laundry room. It’s all open ceiling so my thought was to run the cold/hot/drain hoses up the wall about 3ft, then across the ceiling about 5ft and then down another 3 ft to the sink to drain (or in the case of the taps, get the hot and cold)
I was going to use pex to get the water to where it needs to be.
Is this too far? Will the washer still be able to drain at that length? Can it drain up like that first?
Thanks!
Drain won’t work that way. The pump that’s part of your washer probably can’t push it that far or at that height. Might try running down then up to your sink. Make sure you maintain an air gap. If you want to do it your way you will probably need some sort of booster pump.
You’ll still need a drain too which, even if the water length and bends was alright, wouldn’t work in that scenario.
