I would like to move my washer to the basement. I live in town so I can not drain the washer into the sub pump and I have no drian connected to the city system in the basement. the question I have is if I hook up to one of the drain line in the basement near the ceiling will the washer pump the water this high? Also what type of connection or venting will be needed. I hope someone cane help. Thanks

I can think of two reasons not to try to "drain up". The first is that gravity will be against you from the start. Factory installed washing machine drain lines are fairly short and one reason is to limit the height and travel distance to the waste standpipe.

The second reason is even more important. If you attach the hose to the DWV pipe in the overhead, it is highly likely that, without some special plumbing arrangements, you could siphon waste water back down into your washing machine. Another scenario involves a clog in the wastewater piping that would have the same result: flooding of the washing machine/basement. Technically, you would have also created a potential cross-connection that might very well violate local building codes.

The bottom line is that if this is a necessary rearrangement, installation of a sealed wastewater discharge crock and pump would be necessary to protect you and your basement from th hazards described above. Hope this helps.

...and you'd still need a typical washing machine standpipe arrangement, because this functions as an "air gap" which prevents waste water from entering the domestic water piping.

If I have a dedicated 2" waste pipe that runs directly into the main at about 6' off the ground. I want to install both a sink and a washer. Can I run the washer directly into the waste line and utilize the ejector pump exclusively for the sink either connected into the same waste line or another nearby line?

Your best bet to put a washer drain and a sink in the basement would be to install a sump pit into the floor to pump the waste water up into the sewer system. You would use a sump pump with a float and a check valve higher on the line so the sewer can't backup into the pit. If you added a toilet in the basement, you would have to upgrade to a sewage ejector pump and a sealed sewage pit (more busted concrete floor and piping). Back to the basics, a sump pump will meet almost all plumbing codes and the pipes in and out can be above the floor level.
