I was replacing our old broken outlet box with a Sharkbite box. The quality of the plastic is much lower and the box dimensions are significantly smaller, so it doesn’t fully cover the previous hole. I’m probably going to have to ge back and buy a better box.

I’m getting ready to install one of these as a retrofit on an older set up and I am stuck on the proper mounting height I’ve heard anywhere from 32 to 43 inches. Anyone know the reasoning to height.

@TheSquirrelMommy2 жыл бұрын
So, I have a stupid question. I have this exact same sharkbite outlet box. How in the heck do you get the drain knockout out?!? There's a little hole in the middle that was no problem to pop out; however, to get the whole knockout out seems impossible! It's one continuous piece of plastic! They advise to glue everything together *before* removing the knockout, but now that I've done that, I think it's made it even more impossible to remove the thing!! How do you get the thing off? I literally think it's one piece, so do I need a special tool?
@TheExcellentLaborer2 жыл бұрын
Hello! The best way to remove that is to use a screwdriver that is a flat head and a hammer. Then kind of use it like a chisel and bust it out. Yes it is very strong so you got to put some muscle behind it. I was worried about breaking mine to when I had to knock it out. I hope that helps you!

If it's load bearing, use a stud shoe. If it's interior and not load bearing the wall is fine as it's only there to hang drywall.

The hot water washer hose will not come off. Tried to loosen and tighten the hose to hopefully get some movement but it wouldn’t budge. In doing so, the whole valve assembly moved about an inch to the left and right a few times. It occurred to me that I was bending the copper tube below and behind the drywall. Should I be worried? Fill time for the washing machine didn’t change. Should I be worried? Is the copper pipe much stronger than I give it credit for?

I usually use a little hammer. You probably could use a screwdriver and then hit the end of the hammer on an angle from outside of the box if you want.

Hello. Nice video. Thank you. Would you have a rough idea of about what it would cost me to pay someone to do this for me? How much would a plumber charge to install the box and hook up to existing drain and water connections? I know there's a lot of things to consider, but just a round about figure. Thanks
@TheExcellentLaborer2 жыл бұрын
Hey David! A plumber in my area would charge $50/hr for this job. I would guess it would be about a 4hr job in an older house on a crawl space if drains and pressure lines were easy you get to. Hope that helps!
