Viega 97001 Outlet Box 1/2 Inch Press Washing Machine

Product Description

The VIEGA 97001 is a plastic outlet box designed for washing machine installations using 1/2 inch press connections. It provides a recessed wall-mount solution that houses the hot and cold supply valves and the drain connection in a single enclosure, keeping the utility area clean and code-compliant. The press-fit connection type eliminates the need for soldering, making it a practical choice for plumbers working on new construction or remodel projects where a clean, secure connection is required in tight wall cavities.

This outlet box is intended for residential laundry room applications where a washing machine requires dedicated hot and cold water supply lines. The 1/2 inch press connection format is compatible with press-fit plumbing systems, allowing tool-based crimp or press connections directly to copper or compatible press-fit tubing. It is typically installed during rough-in by a licensed plumber and finished before drywall or wall panels are applied.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch press connection inlets for tool-based, solder-free installation
• Plastic construction for corrosion resistance in laundry environments
• Recessed enclosure design keeps supply valves flush with the finished wall
• Designed specifically for washing machine hot and cold supply hookups
• Single-box solution consolidates supply and drain rough-in into one location

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation outlet box for residential washing machine rough-in applications using 1/2 inch press-fit plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the main water supply and depressurize the lines before making any connections. Press connections require a manufacturer-approved press tool and jaw set rated for the tubing and fitting size being used. Do not use open flame near plastic components during any part of the installation process.
