Product Description

The Oatey 5m Washing Machine Outlet Box is a comprehensive solution for a clean, organized, and code-compliant connection point for your washing machine’s water supply and drain hoses. The term 5m refers to a specific model series or a longer standpipe configuration, ensuring your drain hose can reach the trap without sagging and meets building regulations. This 1.5-inch outlet box installs directly into the wall, creating a neat, professional appearance for your laundry room. It integrates the drain standpipe, a P-trap, and water supply connections into a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple separate components. Whether building a new home, finishing a basement, or renovating an old laundry space, this box provides a reliable, space-saving solution that meets modern plumbing codes and comes in a classic cream or white finish.

What Is a Washing Machine Outlet Box and Why Do I Need One?

A washing machine outlet box is a recessed plumbing fixture that serves as the central hub for your washer’s water and drain connections. It keeps unsightly hoses and valves neatly tucked away behind a clean, wall-mounted cover plate. It ensures the drain standpipe is the correct height and includes a P-trap to prevent sewer gases from entering your home. Integrated water hammer arresters absorb the shock wave created when water valves suddenly close, preventing noisy and potentially damaging pipe vibrations and water damage. It provides a dedicated, organized space to turn water supply on and off and to access the drain for cleaning.

What Materials and Finish Options Are Available?

The box is constructed from durable, high-impact ABS plastic, chosen for strength, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance in humid environments. Plastic construction ensures it will not rust or degrade over time. It is typically available in a clean white finish, as well as an off-white cream finish for a subtler look. Each box comes with a matching snap-on cover plate for a clean, professional finished look once installation is complete.

Is This Washing Machine Outlet Box Easy to Install?

Yes. The unit is designed to fit between standard wall studs and can be easily mounted using integrated mounting brackets. A slip-fit connection on the drain side allows quick and secure connection to existing 1-1/2-inch PVC or ABS drain pipe. Water supply connections are designed for 1/2-inch copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe, with pre-drilled mounting holes for various supply line configurations.
