i need some help setting up a washer in my new house. the room is a laundry room converted to an office.. i need to convert it back
i myself think the drain pipe is too low and it obviously doesn't have a trap on it because i unscrewed the end cap to the drain and HOOOOLY CRAP.. literally i smelt sewer gases. yuck.
there is a vent from the roof tee'd into this drain pipe so would i be able to attach a 1 1/2" threaded fitting to my drain hose to stop the gases from escaping rather than just stuffing the hose into the drain?
also there are sink hoses coming off the hot and cold water lines that the washer hoses won't screw onto. it looks like if i take the valves off i would be able to screw the washer hoses straight onto them but not have shutoff valves anymore.
i can get pics and takes some measurements if needed.
then there is the problem(electricians chime in) with the dryer not even having a 220 outlet in the room cause they removed the outlet... my best guess is that they swapped the 220 outlet for a 110. if i take the cover off i should see 2 hot wires and 1 ground for a 220 right? and if so they just attached 1 hot wire and 1 ground to convert to 110?
