What happens here
Replace old 1.5-inch drainage pipes with 2-inch PVC drain lines for the washing machine (as required by code). Install a new washing machine supply box, securing it to the wall studs. Connect the PEX hot and cold water lines to the valves within the supply box. For proper drainage and to prevent sewer gases from entering the home, install an air admittance valve (AAV) on the washing machine drain pipe. Use PVC cement to create strong, leak-proof joints for the new PVC drain lines.
Goal: Install new PVC drains, including a washing machine supply box with an air admittance valve (AAV), and connect PEX lines to fixtures.
