Main drain is usually where the hot water tank is. I have my frag tank plumbed right to it for easy water change system and located my sump close to there for just incase my sump should overflow. Love it takes me 5 mins to do a water change. Just have to open 2 valves. Although I only change my water once every 2-3 months lol

Will there always be a drain near the hot water tank? Don't think I saw one at my folks place.

If not, is there any reason to not have a plumber tie into the main stack?

Sorry for the hijack, but kinda in topic...

Most newer construction will have a condensate drain near the water tank or furnace, but not always. More dependant on local code. Also depends on when the house was built.

To add a drain in that location is a nightmare. Jack hammer the concrete slab, excavate soil by hand. Locate existing plumbing, lay new drain on proper slope with a pee trap, fill with proper drainage rock, and repour concrete slab. Oh... and don't forget the permits and plumbing inspection. Enjoy.
