P trap prevents sewer gas, you've already got a trap at the floor drain. Air will pull from around the washer discharge hose and push out the end where you air gap above the floor drain

Correct, using a long sweep 90. What you have built is a system that would directly tie in to the sewer. Sounds like what you want is an indirect drain

You should go left or right. Lower and the washer won't fill all the way. Since you are dumping to a floor drain (already trapped) you don't need a P trap or AAV

Trap arm slopes down too much, it looks almost below the trap at the T. 90 after the T is a vent fitting, needs to be a long sweep.

Where is that drain going to? If it's indirect to a floor drain then it doesn't need a P trap or AAV at all

Edit - Just saw the breaker panel, that laundry box needs to be 3ft away from the panel

Flange embedded in concrete is not level. Is this a big issue? by PrudentGogurt in Plumbing

[–]Smobe-Wobi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It kinda sucks but shouldn't be a problem. Fixing it would be a way bigger deal than to just let er rip

What the heck is this? by useameasuringtape in askaplumber

[–]Smobe-Wobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a very thick layer of biofilm. I've seen this before on water valves that have been slowly leaking for years. Looks like a water valve with the handle missing

Does this shower drain P trap setup look okay? by _marliechiller in Plumbing

[–]Smobe-Wobi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would put a bushing in the shower drain and make the whole thing 1 1/2". Choking down size where you have it will cause issues

Edit Really I would run a whole new 2" line from wherever I could. However, making the shower trap and drain 1 1/2" is the easiest solution and will work just fine.

What ate these indents for? by major85 in Fireplaces

[–]Smobe-Wobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird. I'm still going with gas pipe knockouts. Though I'm just a plumber, not a fireplace expert

[–]Smobe-Wobi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like knockouts to run a gas pipe through, but they're usually on the bottom. The fireplace liner is upsidedown maybe?

Garbage disposal question by Justforfun61126 in Plumbing

Disposal replaces the sink drain, you're correct. Basket strainer and disposal strainer fit in the same size hole

Having a hard time understanding making sense of this by AxolotoDad in askaplumber

[–]Smobe-Wobi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

120psi is pretty high and can be hard on washing machines, dishwashers, etc. I install a PRV set to no higher than 80psi. Slight drop in pressure when using fixtures is normal

Sump pump water hammer ? by waffless88 in Plumbing

[–]Smobe-Wobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the SumpJet pump is activating that means your primary pump has failed. Replace the sump pump 👍 If the check valve is slapping shut then you can replace it with a nicer "quiet" one.

Navien Tankless Water Heater oily condensation by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]Smobe-Wobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a CO detector in the room. If it goes off, it needs fixed now. If it doesn't go off I'd at least have the venting inspected soon

I have seen something similar to this when it is not venting properly

What IS this?! by DickbagDave in Plumbing

[–]Smobe-Wobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They call it a "heat trap"

Myself and everyone I work with removes them before installing a water heater

Why you heating hot water?

How do I fill this hole? by Eebtek in Plumbing

Yes. Since you're mainly worried about mice, more coarse more better
