OATEY 38245 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What connection type does the Oatey 38245 washing machine outlet box use, and do I need to solder it?
The Oatey 38245 outlet box ships with F1807 connections, which is the cold-expansion PEX crimp standard. You crimp copper rings onto PEX tubing with a crimp tool, so there is no soldering and no open flame in the wall cavity. If your supply lines are copper, this is not the box to order.
2) Can I mount the Oatey 38245 outlet box without adding blocking between studs?
Yes. The box has direct stud mount capability plus two support brackets, so it fastens straight to a stud face or spans between studs on the brackets. No separate blocking is needed.
3) Does this Oatey washer box handle an HVAC condensate drain too?
It does. The 38245 includes a mount for a condensate line, so an air handler sitting in the same closet or laundry alcove can terminate into the same box instead of needing a separate receptor.
4) Are the valves on the Oatey 38245 quarter turn or multi-turn?
Quarter turn. The 38245 comes with 1/4-turn supply valves, which is what most property managers want on a laundry box since a tenant can shut both lines fast and the valves do not weep from a worn washer the way multi-turn stems do.
5) Does the 38245 come assembled, or do I have to put the valves in myself?
It arrives assembled, with the valves already installed in the box, and it is packed as a contractor pack. For a multi-family rough-in that means you are setting a complete box per unit rather than piecing valves and faceplates together on site.
6) How do I rough in the drain on the Oatey 38245?
The box uses knockout drain caps, so you break out the cap on the side that suits your waste arm position and leave the others intact. That gives you flexibility on which way the standpipe runs without ordering a different box.
7) Is the Oatey 38245 washer box metal or plastic?
The box, faceplate, and mounting brackets are PVC. That makes it non-corroding behind the wall and lets you cut it with a standard knife or saw, but it also means it is not a fire-rated or metallic assembly if your drawing calls for one.
8) What is the Oatey part number for the assembled 2x4 quarter-turn PEX washer box?
Oatey 38245. That is the MPN to quote, and it covers the assembled 2x4 box with 1/4-turn valves and F1807 PEX connections. Listed product weight is 3.29 lb.
