Installing sink in garage help needed please
I want to install a sink in my garage and have found the pipes to the washing machine are behind the wall where the sink will go. I pulled some drywall off and I can see the hot and cold and the drain pipe for the washer. There is a metal P trap (it looks like copper). How would I attach the drain from the sink into the down pipe? Can I simply add a sloping T? I read somewhere I would also need to vent the drain from the sink to make sure the waste water from the washer doesn't back up into the sink?
Thanks

If you could take a pic of what you see that will help. If the washer drains into a vented line then you need a combination fitting or set it up in a way for a dual sink set up that allows proper venting.

Read post #8 here. Hope this helps clarify. Of course you will need 2" arms off the vent. You will need to busch down the sink arm to 1 1/2".

I think I understand but it's more work than I want. I think I will just put a 5 gallon bucket under the sink and empty it when it's full. I found a flexible rubber tee but it is 1.5" and the copper drain is 1.25". I can get reducers from 1.5 to 1.25 but I don't have a lot of room.

Drain position
Here's another idea....could I put the Tee fitting for the garage sink above the p trap for the washing machine or does it have to be below it?
