Step 1 · Plan and Locate the Box
Begin by selecting the ideal location for your washing machine outlet box. The standard height is typically between 42 and 48 inches from the floor to the top of the box. Use an electronic stud finder to locate the vertical wall studs. The box must be installed in the cavity between two studs. Once you've found a suitable bay, use a pencil and tape measure to mark the desired height. Also, identify the paths of the nearest hot and cold water supply lines and the main vertical drain stack you will be tying into. Planning these routes now will save significant time later.
