Is inch and a half (1 & 1/2) ABS Black Plastic Pipe OK for washing machine drain?
When you install rough in plumbing and electrical, do you try to place
everything behind the washer and dryer so that it can’t be seen when the washer and dryer are set in place?
Are there any rough in charts on the internet that would show common placements of:
Height of washing machine electrical outlet
Height of dryer electrical outlet
Height of washing machine hot & cold shut off valves
Height of washing machine drain pipe
Thanks for any input.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
You want the shutoffs to be easily accessible. They they might be used.
Specially if you install one of those with ballvalves and a single level to shut them off.
I would suggest them at about 44 to 48".
This is what codecheck list for the standpipe height.
Standpipe receptor =>18in. & <=42in. {30in.} above trap . . .[2706.2] {804.1}
I believe that the 42" is for the International codes (IRC/IPC) and the 30" is for the UPC.
Thanks for the help guys!^^^^^^

dont forget hammer aressters on hot and cold and the p-trap should be within 6 in from floor
Drain stand pipe code for Auto washers.
pipe----- 2"
Trap---- min 6" above floor, max 12" above floor
Stand pipe above trap min is 18" max is 30"“It so happens that everything that is stupid is not unconstitutional.” —Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
