Curious what recommendations plumbers have for their clients for a laundry valve for the washing machine. Reading Peter Hemp's book, he doesn't like the plastic wall box (they break easily) and he doesn't like the one-switch shut-off (hard to replace when the o-rings wear out). I'm considering the Watts Intelliflow, which automatically shuts off the water when the washing machine is not in use [DW was not aware that you are supposed to shut off water to the washing machine when not in use, and laughs at the idea of doing it manually]. I'm guessing this has the same problems as the shut-off valve that Hemp does not like, and even better it comes with a plastic wall box.
