Abstract
An angle stop box includes a generally rectangular housing having a bottom wall and a pair of sidewalls connected to the bottom wall. The bottom wall has a pair of holes extending therethrough. A pair of angle stop valves have their male shanks mounted in corresponding holes in the bottom wall of the housing. A drain fitting receptacle is formed in an upper part of the housing for coupling to a downstream end of a P-trap on a forward side of the drain fitting receptacle and for coupling to drain and vent pipes on a rear side of the drain fitting receptacle. The drain fitting receptacle includes a cylindrical sleeve for receiving a forward end of a pipe fitting, such as a ninety-degree elbow or a T-shaped fitting. The housing has a flange that extends around an entire periphery thereof for facilitating the attachment of the box to one or more studs by nailing therethrough.
