Washer sticker says max 96". You are at 85". It has been working.the current height from the floor to the top of that current drain pipe is 85" my washer says max height of 96" ... I know it's not ideal but it i redo that drain with a p trap will it work?
you mean run a new line and tap it in right above the clean out? that clean out pipe isn't pvc Its just painted white to look nicerReally don't like that set-up, as sewer gas can enter the home and it's way too high to pump from machine, imo.
Is it possible to cap that pipe and re-plumb it to the main sewer. Then you can use the proper 2 inch pipe/stand pipe and trap. Your machine will thank you.
i appreciate your input! Thank youInstall a laundry tray. It will drain to a laundry pump. The pump should discharge to 4 inch if at all possible to avoid causing pressure fluctuations in your plumbing system and pulling of trap seals. Usually installers add a wye with a male IP adapter in the clean out where the sewer exists the house. The new wye should be installed with the branch up to the ceiling. And another clean out on the end of the new wye.
The sump vent can usually just go up and turn down with two 90's it doesn't have to attach to anything. Just make sure your above the laundry tray in case of a pump failure. Since it is grey water as long as you wash weekly it should not smell.

Make sure you install a sump check valve on the pump discharge and of course washer drains to the laundry sink.
If you want to do it correctly
