Is is necessary to vent a washing machine drain if the run is very short or does the WM pump negate the need for the vent?
There is usually some space around the drain hose where it goes into the drain. This usually allows enough air to get in that it is not a problem. If the washer hose is connected to the drain tight, then yes, there needs to be a vent above that connection. There may already be one above the drain if you follow it up. Most washer drains are fairly close to the main stack which allow for venting. The only question is, Does the washer drain alright? If so, don't worry about it.
