Punto críticoCómo verificar
1. Check shut-off valves — should be quarter-turn ball valves (lever type, not gate valves)
2. Verify hot and cold supply lines are braided stainless steel (not rubber hoses)
3. Check drain standpipe height — 18" to 30" above floor
4. Verify standpipe has P-trap and is properly vented
5. If on upper floor: check for washing machine pan with drain connected
6. Test supply valves — turn off and on to verify they work
7. Check for any signs of past leaks (staining, swelling of floor or baseboard)
