OATEY 76013 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 76013 sediment drain connect to 3 inch PVC DWV pipe?
Yes. The 76013 has a 3 inch PVC connection, so it solvent-welds straight onto 3 inch PVC drain pipe. It will not take cast iron, ABS, or no-hub pipe without an adapter or transition coupling, since both the body and the connection are PVC.
2) What does the bucket in a sediment drain actually do, and do I still need a separate trap?
The removable bucket in the Oatey 76013 sits under the grate and catches sand, grit, hair, and other solids before they reach the drain line, so you pull the bucket and dump it instead of rodding the pipe. It is a sediment interceptor, not a trap. If the code on your job calls for a trap on that drain, you still run a P-trap in the 3 inch PVC line below the drain.
3) Is a plastic grate strong enough, or should I look for a cast iron sediment drain?
The 76013 ships with a plastic grate, which suits pedestrian and light-duty areas: mechanical rooms, mop and janitor closets, planters, car wash bays, and equipment pads. It is not a traffic-rated drain. If forklifts, vehicles, or loading dock traffic cross the grate, specify a metal or cast iron grate drain instead.
4) Does the Oatey 76013 come with the grate and bucket, or are those ordered separately?
Both are included. The 76013 is supplied as a complete assembly: the 3 inch PVC drain body, the plastic grate, and the sediment bucket. The only things you supply are the 3 inch PVC pipe, solvent cement and primer, and whatever trap or fittings the run below needs.
5) Can I use this PVC sediment drain where hot water or chemicals go down the drain?
The 76013 body, base, and connection are all PVC. PVC handles ordinary cool and warm drainage, but it is not the choice for sustained high-temperature discharge or aggressive chemical waste. For a boiler blowdown, commercial dishwasher, or lab waste line, move to a drain in a material rated for that service.
6) What part number do I give my supplier for the Oatey 3 inch sediment drain with bucket?
Order Oatey 76013. That is the manufacturer part number for the 3 inch PVC sediment drain with plastic grate and bucket, and it is the single configuration, so there is no finish, outlet, or grate option to specify with it.
7) How much does the Oatey 76013 drain weigh for shipping and handling on site?
The 76013 is listed at 5.4 pounds with a shipping volume of 0.625. Light enough to be a one-person set, which matters when you are dropping several into a slab pour.
