OATEY 43565 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 43565 snap-in drain fit 3 inch PVC Schedule 40 DWV pipe?
Yes. The Oatey 43565 is sized for 3 in. drain pipe and snaps into PVC Sch. 40 DWV. It can also be solvent welded into the same pipe if you want it permanent, which matches its solvent weld connection type.
2) Can I use a snap-in floor drain like this in a shower with a waterproofing membrane?
No. The Oatey 43565 is built for drainage in areas that do not require a waterproofing membrane. For a tiled shower or any assembly with a membrane you need a clamping-ring drain that bonds the membrane, not a snap-in strainer.
3) Do I need a trap or anything else besides the Oatey 43565 to finish the drain?
The 43565 is the strainer top only. It gives you the 3-1/2 in. strainer face and the connection into 3 in. PVC Sch. 40 DWV pipe. The trap, the riser and the PVC solvent cement are all separate items you order alongside it.
4) Is the cover on the Oatey 43565 removable for cleaning?
No. It is a 1-piece design that prevents the cover from being removed. That is useful in commercial or multi-family spaces where you do not want tenants or the public pulling grates off, but it means you clean through the 3-1/2 in. strainer or rod the line rather than lifting the top.
5) Can this PVC snap-in drain be used as a vent stack strainer instead of a floor drain?
Yes. Besides floor drainage, the 43565 can serve as a vent stack cap or air inlet strainer on 3 in. PVC, keeping debris and nesting out of an open pipe while letting air pass.
6) Do I have to glue the Oatey 43565 in, or can it just snap in place?
Either works. It snaps into 3 in. PVC Sch. 40 DWV pipe dry, which is handy for a temporary cover or where you may want to pull it later, and the same body can be solvent welded in for a permanent install.
7) What material and finish is the Oatey 43565 drain, and will it hold up in a utility room?
PVC, in white. PVC will not rust or corrode, so it suits laundry rooms, mechanical rooms, basements and other general purpose drainage points. It is a light part at 0.2 lb, so the strength comes from the pipe it is welded or snapped into.
