Practical tips for planning and installation
Before you install, confirm your rough-in dimensions align with the 10.13" width, 8.75" height, and 3.75" depth to ensure a flush, professional fit. The brass 1/2 in. inlet and 3/4 in. outlet are designed to integrate smoothly with standard household PEX lines and drainage components, enabling a clean transition from supply to waste. Use the PEX barb connections for a tight seal, and secure the box to the wall studs to maintain stable alignment for washer hoses and drainage fittings.
