Okay, so we are adding a 2nd floor laundry in our 3yr old house in what was previously a bedroom. Adjacent is a full bathroom. I have partially demo'd the wall to see what I have to work with before going any further. Per code, I need 1.5" drain for the sink and the washer overflow pan. I would also need a 2" standpipe and drain for the washer itself. (my washer is a front loading HE washer).
Since I found that I do not have 2" drain available behind the wall/above floor level, I have decided to just drain the washer into the util sink (15 gallon capacity) rather than plumb it in directly. Below is my understanding on how I would accomplish this, I would appreciate any advice/concerns.

*Note - the washer and dryer will be raised on built-in/framed platforms.
