Washer Box Shut Off Valves
Check this baby out. Not sure what you are looking at? Think washing machine. More specifically the behind the scenes of the washing machine. The washer box shut off valves. Where the magic happens. Without these sweet little water transporters, you are washing your clothes the old fashioned way, in a tub with a washboard. Or on your abs. Washboard abs. Get it? Who said a plumbers can’t be funny. But seriously, this is how you hook up a washing machine.
Washing Machine Behind the scenes
We wanted to show you this image that we took on a job we recently finished to let you glimpse something you may never see otherwise. Thanks to the homeowner for allowing us to take the picture and bring it to you. We replaced faulty washer box shut off valves and water lines going to them in Knightdale, NC for one of our valued customer.

Wow! A plumber with a sense of humor. Love it! You make plumbing interesting!
Good job. I liked the idea of using Kool-Aid as a color dye in the tank to tell if the toilet is leaking and wasting water!
Would also suggest that if you are moving a washing machine to a new location that you carefully inspect the hose rubber washers and replace if brittle, cracked or worn to avoid leaks. Also inspect hoses for age and evidence of failure like a bubble or weak place. Since these valves are open all the time and under pressure, a burst hose can really make a mess and do damage if valves are not shut off immediately.
