OATEY 34086 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Oatey 34086 PVC adapter actually connect?
The Oatey 34086 is a two-size PVC adapter with a 1 inch inside adapter on one end and a 1-1/2 inch inside adapter on the other, so it bridges 1 inch drain tubing into a 1-1/2 inch PVC opening. Both ends take the pipe inside the adapter rather than fitting over it.
2) Can I use the Oatey 34086 adapter on a water heater pan drain line?
Water heater installs are the stated application for the 34086. It is the fitting used to take a water heater drain pan outlet or relief line and adapt between 1 inch and 1-1/2 inch PVC drain piping.
3) Will the Oatey 34086 fit over the outside of a 1-1/2 inch pipe?
No. Both ends of the 34086 are inside adapters, meaning the pipe seats inside the fitting. If your pipe end needs a fitting that slips over the outside diameter, this is the wrong part for that joint.
4) What is the largest pipe size the Oatey 34086 adapter will take?
1-1/2 inch is the top end. The base size diameter is 1.5 inches, and the opposite end steps down to 1 inch. For anything larger than 1-1/2 inch PVC you need a different fitting.
5) Do I need glue to install the Oatey 34086 PVC adapter?
The 34086 is a PVC fitting with inside-adapter ends, so it is joined the way PVC drain fittings normally are, with PVC primer and solvent cement. Neither the primer nor the cement comes with the adapter, so order those separately if you do not already carry them on the truck.
6) Is the Oatey 34086 adapter metal or plastic?
Plastic. The 34086 is a PVC fitting, which keeps it compatible with PVC drain and pan piping and avoids any galvanic issue at the joint. Product weight is 0.1, so it adds essentially nothing to the line.
