Laundry outlet box with hammer arrester

The Water-tite 85708 provides a recessed mounting point for washing machine supply valves. It integrates a water hammer arrester to reduce pressure spikes that can damage piping. The unit is intended for residential laundry installations where code requires shock absorption.

UPC-listed brass valve with sweat connections

The assembly uses a 1/2 inch copper sweat inlet that must be soldered in place during rough-in. Compliance with UPC and NSF 61-G confirms the brass components meet drinking-water safety standards. Federal Law 111-380 compliance verifies lead-free construction for potable systems.

Recessed box with integrated faceplate

The box measures 5-3/4 inches wide by 4-7/8 inches high by 3-1/2 inches deep behind the wall. A larger 8-1/4 by 7-5/16 inch faceplate covers the opening and provides a finished appearance. No drain connection is included, so overflow protection must be planned separately.

Questions about this item

Which Water-tite 85708 configuration should I choose for my washing machine hookup?

The 85708 is a single outlet box that includes a 1/2" sweat valve with integrated hammer arrester and locknut, so no separate version selection is required.

What does the built-in hammer arrester do once the box is installed?

It absorbs pressure spikes caused by sudden valve closure, reducing water hammer noise and protecting the supply piping.

What does the 1/2" sweat connection limit in practice?

It requires copper pipe with soldered joints, so installation is permanent and suited to rigid copper supply lines.
