OATEY 803-17-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the flanged end on the Dearborn 803-17-1 tailpiece do?
The flange is the Hi-Line style top end that seats up under the sink strainer body and is held by the strainer's coupling nut. That is what makes it a strainer tailpiece rather than a plain slip joint tube, and it means it mates to a strainer that takes a flanged tailpiece, not one prepped for a threaded connection.
2) Can I use this chrome tailpiece on a dishwasher or disposal drain line that runs hot?
No. The 803-17-1 is rated to a maximum working temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which rules out hot discharge from a dishwasher or a commercial kitchen line. Use it on lavatory and sink waste where the flow is normal domestic drainage.
3) Can I cut the 12 inch Dearborn tailpiece down to fit my trap height?
Yes. Tubular brass tailpieces are cut from the plain bottom end to suit the drop between the strainer and the trap inlet, and the 803-17-1 gives you 12 inches of length to work with. Cut only the unflanged end, the flanged top has to stay intact to seat in the strainer.
4) Is the Oatey 803-17-1 tailpiece brass or plastic?
Brass tube with a chrome plated finish, so it holds up better than a plastic tailpiece where the drain is exposed under an open vanity or a pedestal sink and still looks finished.
5) What does 17 gauge mean on this Dearborn tailpiece, and does it matter?
17 gauge is the wall thickness of the brass tube. It is the heavier of the two common tubular weights and it matters for property managers and MRO buyers running multi-family or commercial restrooms, where thin wall tube gets crushed by over-tightened slip nuts and fails at the threads. Lighter 20 and 22 gauge tube is the thinner alternative.
6) Do I get the slip nut and washer with the Oatey 803-17-1?
What is supplied is the tailpiece tube itself, model 803-17-1. Plan on the strainer coupling nut at the top and a slip joint nut and washer at the trap inlet to complete the connection, so have those in the truck before you pull the old tube.
7) How much does the 1-1/2 inch by 12 inch Dearborn tailpiece weigh for a bulk order?
Each 803-17-1 tailpiece is 0.7 pounds with a volume of 0.02, useful if you are pricing out freight on a case quantity for a building-wide fixture refit.
