1/2" Center Drain Washing Machine Outlet Box with Valve.

IPS 82066 – Water-Tite Econo Washing Machine Outlet Box with Center Drain and Pre-Installed Valves

The IPS 82066 Water-Tite Econo Box is a molded one-piece outlet box with a center-drain configuration, designed to support standard residential laundry installations. The unit includes factory-mounted quarter-turn brass ball valves with 1/2" nominal sweat connections and features a reversible design for either top-mounted or center-mounted valve installation. Its integrated raised drip guard helps direct water from potential hose or valve failures into the drain line, reducing the risk of wall and floor damage.

The box features oversized knockouts for simplified stub-out access and includes an EZ Out test cap to prevent obstruction of the drainage path during rough-in and testing phases. A snap-on faceplate is included, compatible with Water-Tite DU-All series boxes, and available in both standard and contractor configurations (attached or separate faceplate packaging).
