Air admittance valve and washing machine, will this work

Okay, no codes where I am, I need to put a washing machine in my shop, it will be hooked up to the toilet and sink drain, I need to know if this setup will work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I do apologize for the drawing, no scanner so did it with paint. No idea about plumbing at all, do I need a WZE on it at all. Thanks for all the help.

Lol, 99 have seen it so far, so is it a stupid question. Remember I have no plumbing experience except for changing pipes out. Need Help.

Why do you need an aav? Some reason it can't go out the roof? Also not enough info to even know if it's OK to add a washer onto that line. No sizes, no distances... no idea of the rest of the layout.

thought that is why...

I thought that is why I am here, for help. If you need to know then the stand pipe will be about 20 inches, the p-trap to the vent pipe will have a 4 inch splice on it, the vent pipe to the aav will be about 35 inches, the drain pipe has a run of about 3 feet. The pipe itself will be 2 inch pvc. And this is a guess. I want an aav because I don't want to drill through a metal roof, it is my shop not my house.

You need to make the standpipe as tall as possible to prevent water from backing up under pressure. Since you don't want to run a standard vent then you must use a AAV to keep the trap from getting sucked dry.

Yes, I think it's a good setup. The AAV is set up correctly, and it looks like you have it all in check! Good luck!
