Eastman 1/2 Inch CPVC Connection, White Center Drain Washing Machine Outlet Box, 60249

My 2000 mobile home had old Indonesia gate valves stuck down loose in a box which made turning them off and on nearly impossible. I don't wash clothes too often so I wanted to change out the old valves with quarter turn ball valves while also eliminating the flexible l/2" 30" long with screw on ips type thread on ballcock connectors like you see for sinks and showers which ran from floor to old valves. One of the hoses had started leaking where it threads on to the cpvc at the floor so I ran cpvc on up to the new valves and eliminated those flexible lines and went with cpvc all the way to the new valves. The old plastic box was larger than this new one so the hole in the wall was too large to accommodate the new box by about and inch or two on all sides. I used a 3/4" piece of chipboard to set the new access panel in so as to make for a very sturdy box and did not use the flimsy plastic straps which came with this kit. I marked out where to make the cuts and drilled 8 holes at each corner as picture shows and jigsawed out the rest so the box fit in nice and tight. The back of the box is against the back wall so all is snug which makes turning the valves on and off much better. The old washing machine hoses are still fine and since I'm keeping the valves turned off when not in use I opted to just keep them for now. Eventually I'll buy a set of the braided steel lines which I saw on amazon at a great price. If you do buy this kit, or any plastic box kit, I recommend using a piece of plywood as I did to fit box inside snugly because it just makes everything so much better and not flimsy feeling. I also recommend having an access panel below for future service or valve replacement. Keep the valves shutoff if you can because most flooding and insurance claims are from burst washing machine hoses & with these valves it's easy to turned off when not in use and unplug your machine as well because lightening destroyed mine a few years ago and I had to order the timer parts to replace which cost $140 and disassembly of my washing machine. All avoidable by simply unplugging washer when not in use.

I've used these before in remodels and the cost was good and delivery also good. The ad says 'push to connect', I ordered solder fittings from that ad and got solder fittings.

Just what I needed.

It's a little flimsy in some areas, but work great so far

Came as it should. Packaged good. Works as it should. Valves work good. Been using for a few months now.. so far so good.

Good value for the money.

Dose what it's supposed to fit perfect works as it should

Wasn't the size I thought it was but made it work
