OATEY 814ET-17-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Dearborn 814ET-17-1 tailpiece connect to my existing 1-1/2 inch P-trap?
Yes. It's a 1-1/2 inch slip joint tailpiece, so it drops straight into a standard 1-1/2 inch slip joint trap with a nut and washer, no soldering or glue. The top is also slip joint, so it takes the strainer or basket nut the same way the piece you're pulling out did.
2) What does the nut down orientation mean on a branch tailpiece, and will it fit my setup?
Nut down means the slip nut on the tailpiece faces downward toward the trap, with the branch positioned to suit that layout. The branch sits 3 inches from the end, so measure from your strainer down to where your dishwasher or condensate hose comes in before ordering. If the drain line you need to tie in lands above that point, the nut down version puts the branch too low.
3) When ordering the OATEY Dearborn branch tailpiece, what exactly do I need to specify?
Four things decide the part: the tube size and length (1-1/2 by 8 inches here), the gauge (17), the branch type and size (7/8 inch hose and clamp), and where the branch sits (3 inches to center, nut down). The full model is 814ET-17-1 from OATEY under the Dearborn line. Get the branch location wrong and the appliance hose won't reach the fitting.
4) Does the 814ET-17-1 come with the hose clamp for the dishwasher connection?
Yes, it's a hose and clamp branch, so the clamp is part of the assembly. The hose slips over the 7/8 inch branch and the clamp secures it. You'll still supply the drain hose itself and, on the trap side, the slip nut and washer if you aren't reusing the existing ones.
5) Is 17 gauge brass heavy enough for a commercial kitchen or a rental property drain?
17 gauge is the heavier of the two common tubular brass wall thicknesses and is what gets specified where the drain gets worked on repeatedly, think apartment turnovers, restaurant kitchens, and school lavatories. Thinner 20 and 22 gauge tubular deforms when a slip nut is overtightened or a snake goes through. Brass body, chrome finished, at 0.42 lb for the piece.
6) What's the difference between the hose and clamp branch tailpiece and the sweat branch version?
Two different ways of landing the branch line. The hose and clamp branch on the 814ET-17-1 takes a flexible drain hose over a 7/8 inch nipple and clamps it, which is what you want for a dishwasher or an appliance discharge line. A sweat branch version is soldered to copper tube instead, for a hard piped condensate or softener drain. If the line coming in is rubber or reinforced hose, this is the one.
7) Will chrome tailpieces match the rest of the exposed drain on an exposed pedestal or wall hung sink?
Chrome plated brass, so it matches standard chrome tubular P-traps, escutcheons, and supply stops on exposed installations. If the other fixtures in the building are running rough brass or another finish, this one won't blend, and on a concealed drain under a cabinet the finish doesn't matter at all.
