LM600 - Genuine OEM Laundry-Mate Plastic Drain Box
LM600 – Genuine OEM Laundry-Mate Plastic Drain Box
The LM600 Genuine OEM Laundry-Mate Plastic Drain Box is a professional-grade plumbing component designed for washing machine installations, integrating both water supply valves and a central drain connection in a single unit. Manufactured under the Laundry-Mate system (commonly associated with Symmons), this OEM-quality drain box is engineered for durability, code compliance, and easy installation in residential and commercial laundry setups.
Available through Appliance Kingdom, this unit ships across Canada and is ideal for contractors, landlords, and homeowners looking to install or upgrade a washer connection system. If you're dealing with outdated, leaking, or improperly installed washer connections, replacing the drain box assembly with the LM600 is a reliable solution.
Function & Importance of the Drain Box
The LM600 laundry drain box serves as a central connection hub for your washing machine:
-
Houses hot and cold water shutoff valves
-
Provides a dedicated drain outlet for wastewater
-
Organizes plumbing connections neatly within the wall
This component ensures safe and efficient washer operation by managing both water supply and drainage in a controlled, code-compliant manner.
Using an OEM-quality unit ensures:
-
Proper sealing to prevent leaks
-
Reliable shutoff control via quarter-turn valves
-
Long-term resistance to water pressure and wear
Without a properly functioning drain box, you risk water damage, poor drainage, or unsafe plumbing conditions.
Common Issues That Indicate Replacement
If your laundry setup shows any of the following problems, upgrading to the LM600 drain box is often recommended:
-
Water leaks behind or around the washer
-
Corroded or hard-to-turn shutoff valves
-
Poor drainage or overflow at the wall connection
-
Outdated or non-compliant plumbing setup
-
Difficulty connecting washer hoses securely
-
Visible cracks or damage in the existing box
These issues are typically caused by aging or poorly installed drain boxes rather than the washer itself.
