wags

waggs unit is also made by watts. if bldg. will not approve one w/ plastic components ,tenant will have to do with manual shut offs. ya can't have it both ways. maybe watts can special order a all metal unit. if they live on fifth ave they gotta have cash .if you must know the price you can't afford it.

its not building

Its not that the building probobly will not allow it, but its NYC code that does not allow pvc or plastic. Guess people are just getting lazier and richer

plastic

the n.y.c. plumbing prohibits plastic pipe for multi-storey and commercial applications for very valid reasons. and laziness has absolutly nothing to do with it. plastic has its uses but for the most part it is dangerous and garbage. a n.y.c. lic. plumber . if the people got the cash and desire an all metal unit could be fabricated. if not too bad. let them go to a laundramat.

Not Inexpensive But

Tile pan with curbs, liner, cement board or mud base and a floor drain. Surely NYC allows the good rubber liners as opposed to lead or copper. Used that construction in my attic and was VERY glad when renter left and washer overflowed. It saved my 2nd floor ceiling and floors.

Take a look at this, it may be what you need.------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FloodStop I for Washing Machines




Washing Machines can leak and hoses can fail or rupture at any time.
Avoid extensive property damage and expensive repairs.
Features
Washing Machines are one of the most damaging appliances within the home. Washing Machine related flooding can happen at anytime, from hoses with ruptures or cracked fittings, to internal failures from clamps, valves, pumps, drains and failed switches. Whether at home, at work, or on vacation these flooding
events can go undetected for hours or even days. FloodStop I automatically shuts off the water supply to the Washing Machine and sounds an alarm, leaving all other household fixtures and appliances operational. Easily installed in ten minutes. Each
kit includes two ¾ inch solenoid valves (hose threaded with union), a simple control unit, a water/leak sensor and an AC power adapter.

Prevent Flooding from Failed Washing Machines
& Hoses!
