Abstract
A washing machine outlet box includes a housing having a bottom wall containing a first valve mount for a first shutoff valve of a first water supply line and a valve mount insert that forms a second valve mount for a second shutoff valve of a second water supply line. The valve mount insert is selectively positionable in any one of several openings in the bottom wall to accommodate the second water supply line. A drain pipe is connected to one of the openings in which the valve mount insert is not selectively positioned. A test cap forms a seal for the drain pipe opening. In this manner, the washing machine outlet box can accommodate different plumbing arrangements.
