How To Install Washing Machine Outlet Box & P-Trap

Oatey makes these really convenient outlet boxes for all kinds of plumbing hook ups. I'll show you how I'm installing this washing machine outlet box with PEX-A fittings and water arresters. As well as setting up the P Trap with proper drop. It's very important to have the right height set on these outlet boxes so you can have proper drainage and also meet code requirements.

This would also be very informative if you're looking to add a laundry room or move the location of your current laundry hookup.

If you have any questions about the process please leave me a comment and I'll be sure to respond. Thank you for watching!

Are you allowed to do a S trap like you did? I was thinking the piece connecting had to be a minimum of 4" in between in order to not create a s-trap instead of a p trap.

My sister and I installed..or tried to install our very first box. It went well until it was time to hook up the water to the box. Turns out we need a crimping tool which we do not have. Instead of that, my sister got sharkbite fittings. We hooked them up, but they leaked. The tube from the valve is like a pvc type tube and it is not long enough to reach the seal on the sharkbite, that is why it leaks. Any recommendations?

Will you be doing a tankless water heater install possibly?

2 quick questions..
What’s the word on those little vent fittings that can eliminate a legit vent stack? Are they good enough for a small washing machine?
And second question is about the trap. Does it have to have a min run to the San Tee? Or can it just be snugged right up on it?
