OATEY 8483 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Oatey Dearborn 8483 slip joint elbow come with nuts and washers, or do I need to buy those separately?
The 8483 elbow ships with 2 zinc slip joint nuts and 2 rubber slip joint washers, so both ends are ready to make up without buying loose parts. It is a brass elbow in a chrome finish.
2) Will the Oatey 8483 elbow connect to my 1-1/2 inch sink tailpiece and trap arm?
Yes, on 1-1/2 inch tubular drain. Both ends are slip joint, so the elbow slides over 1-1/2 inch tubular tailpiece or trap arm tubing and seals with the supplied rubber washer under the nut. There are no threads to match and no solvent or solder work. It will not work on 1-1/4 inch lavatory tubular or on threaded IPS drain piping.
3) What does 20 gauge mean on a chrome tubular drain elbow, and is it heavy enough for commercial use?
Gauge is the wall thickness of the brass tube. The Dearborn 8483 is 20 gauge brass, the heavier-wall grade used in commercial and institutional restrooms where thin-wall or plastic tubular gets crushed or stripped. Lighter 22 gauge chrome tubular is the residential grade.
4) Can I use a 90 degree slip joint elbow to offset a sink drain to an off-center wall stub?
That is what it is for. The 8483 turns 1-1/2 inch tubular drain 90 degrees, so it is used to bring a trap arm around to a wall or floor stub that does not line up with the trap outlet. Because both ends are slip joint, you can rotate the elbow on the tubing before tightening the nuts to dial in the direction.
5) Should I use a slip joint elbow or a soldered or solvent-weld fitting for a lavatory drain?
Use slip joint where the drain is serviceable tubular below the fixture. The 8483 makes up with nuts and rubber washers, so it comes apart with a pair of channel locks to clear a stoppage or swap a trap. Permanent soldered or solvent-weld fittings belong in the concealed waste piping, not in the exposed tubular run under a sink.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for the Dearborn 1-1/2 inch chrome 90 degree slip joint elbow?
Order it as Oatey part 8483, Dearborn brand. That number covers the 1-1/2 inch 90 degree slip joint elbow in 20 gauge chrome brass with the nuts and washers included.
7) How much does the Oatey 8483 slip joint elbow weigh for a parts kit or MRO stock?
Listed at 0.4 for product weight, which is consistent with a small 20 gauge brass tubular fitting plus two zinc nuts and two washers. It is a common truck-stock and janitorial closet item for buildings standardized on 1-1/2 inch chrome tubular.
