If you’re an avid do-it-yourselfer and you want to install your own washing machine, you’ll need a few tools to complete the project successfully.

At Lowe’s, we offer a broad selection of washing machine outlet boxes from which you can choose.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: How high should a washer outlet box be?

A: The standard installation height for a washing machine outlet box is between 24 inches and 42 inches, with 42 inches being the most common height. The outlet box should be above your washing machine’s water height. Refer to the user’s manual for your washing machine, as well as to local electrical codes, when determining how high to install the outlet box.


Q: Where do you put a washing machine outlet box?

A: You should mount washing machine outlet boxes on a wall just behind and above where you plan to install your washing machine.
