Do I need a special tool to remove the valves? How about you guys make a video on how to remove the sharkbite valves and install them on the inverted side of the box with the drain in the middle? That would really help me out!
Thanks.

I was having a very tough time changing the orientation to center drain. The plastic nuts holding the valve in place seemed impossible to remove. Then i thought even if i remove those, the sharkbite bottom is too fast to allow removal of valve. It took me s while to realize the fat part twists off. Please have better instructions on your mama

Where I am living they have the similar box, but what I needed to know was at 1:01. How to remove the test cap. Because they put my box upside down. So I had to pop out the test cap. Thank you.

Half the comments here mention there is still ZERO INFO on how to relocate the valves to the other side. I have all the necessary tools, but it seems like these valves will not come apart for anything.

Hey I’m really new to this but why is there no P-trap? Also these boxes what is the top circle for does anyone know what the top circle is for?

Where is the top of the outlet box? Do you actually mean "to the bottom of the outlet box"?

Need to show how to replace old valves with outlet box removal, mounting when drywall is already in place, etc.

Umm... it's not quite that easy to get that test cap knockout off!! Mine seems to be one solid piece of plastic! Total pain in the butt!

Need a vent, a p trap, and a long sweep el. Teaching people wrong, methane gas coming into the house.

Better put a p trap on that drain line

Had to come here because I couldn't see the 1inch by 1inch pictures with the included single page instructions. Come on do better it's cost enough that you could make the pics bigger and add another page...
