OATEY 72047 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Oatey 72047 general purpose drain fit 3 inch or 4 inch pipe?
Both. The Oatey 72047 PVC general purpose drain body accepts either 3 inch or 4 inch PVC, so one part covers the two common DWV branch sizes without ordering a separate body for each. Solvent weld the drain to the pipe size you have on the job.
2) What grate comes with the Oatey 72047 drain, and is it metal?
It ships with a 5 inch brass grate plus a square ring. The brass grate gives a harder wearing surface than plastic in a traffic area, and the square ring lets the assembly finish into a square tile or formed opening while the grate itself stays round at 5 inches.
3) Is the Oatey 72047 a floor drain for general drainage or a shower drain?
It is a general purpose drain, not a shower pan drain. There is no clamping ring or membrane flange in the assembly, so it is for applications where the drain is set into a floor and connected to 3 inch or 4 inch PVC, not for a hot-mopped or sheet-membrane shower. If you are building a tiled shower, use a membrane clamping drain instead.
4) How do I order the Oatey 5 inch brass grate general purpose drain, and what is the part number?
Order it as Oatey 72047. That single model number covers the complete assembly: PVC drain body for 3 inch or 4 inch pipe, 5 inch brass grate, and square ring. No separate grate or ring part needs to be added.
5) Will the Oatey 72047 PVC drain work with ABS pipe?
No. The 72047 body is PVC, and PVC solvent cement is not the correct joint for ABS. Use it on 3 inch or 4 inch PVC DWV; if the building is piped in ABS, pick an ABS-bodied drain or make a proper transition at the pipe rather than at the drain.
6) What does the Oatey 72047 drain weigh for shipping or a bulk order?
The 72047 drain is listed at 4 pounds with a volume of 0.147. That is useful if you are palletizing a multi-unit order for a multi-family or facility job, since the brass grate carries most of that weight.
