Stainless Steel Recessed Supply and Waste Hose Box

Stainless Steel Recessed Supply and Waste Hose Boxes are CUPC certified by IAPMO for U.S. and Canada. 

Boxes are designed for attractive service in homes and institutions for washing machine supply and waste. In

hospitals, they are used with heart-lung, laser, and similar machines. In these applications, the water is used for

heating or cooling and then discharged into the drain. Recessed design prevents accidents which are common to

surface-mounted boxes or protruding hose valves.

Hose Box is fabricated from 18 gage, type 304 stainless steel and all seams are continuous welded. Interior is

polished to a satin finish. Four stainless steel clips are furnished for anchoring to the wall construction. Wall

flange is 16 gage stainless steel and polished to a satin finish. Flange is furnished with four corner tappings and

screws for anchoring to box.

Valve and Stop Body is cast bronze with exposed parts chrome-plated. Valve and Stop feature tamperresistant

lockshield bonnets and replaceable cartridges containing all wearing parts including the seat. The body

casting is gasketed where it joins the box and is securely anchored with stainless steel tamper-resistant screws.

Supply inlet is 3/4" NPT female. Outlet is 3/4" male hose thread.

-SSLF stainless steel lead free option provides a rough finish, cast stainless steel valve body, stainless steel stop

assembly, stainless steel lockshield cartridge and meets the lead free requirements where the wetted surface of

this product contacted by water contains less than 0.25% lead. On models that include vacuum breakers, a leadfree

brass vacuum breaker is provided.

Waste Fitting is cast bronze with rough chrome finish and is securely bolted to the box. It will slip 2" SPS and is

furnished with Permaseal for waterproofing. The waste piping must include

P-trap and be vented in accordance with local code.

Screwdriver Stop in supply permits servicing the control valve without shutting down the water supply.

Vacuum breaker models prevent contamination of the potable water supply. Vacuum breakers are atmospheric
