So we want to buy a tray to put under the washer that has a side drain plug. We've been to a lot of hardware stores, but all the washer trays have the drain plug in the bottom. Any ideas on what types of stores to check? Last edited by proofer; 08-23-2008 at 04:45 PM.

This area doesn't have a floor drain because this current utility closet was once the coat closet, so it wasn't initially set up for that. Also, the floor is now completely tiled. Thanks for responding.
