OATEY 82338 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 82338 drain connect to 4 inch ABS DWV pipe?
Yes. The Oatey 82338 is a 4 inch pipe-fit drain with an ABS body, so it slips over 4 inch ABS DWV pipe and is solvent welded with ABS cement. It is not made for PVC or cast iron pipe; for those you want the matching PVC-body or cast iron version of the same drain rather than mixing materials.
2) Is the Oatey 82338 a shower drain or a floor drain?
It is a general purpose drain, not a tiled-shower drain with a clamping ring and weep holes. Use it for utility floor drains, mechanical rooms, laundry areas and similar pipe-fit floor applications. For a mortar bed shower pan you need a three-piece shower drain with a membrane clamp instead.
3) How wide is the grate on the Oatey 82338 general purpose drain?
The strainer is a 6 inch round cast nickel-bronze grate on a round top. Plan your finished opening around that 6 inch face, not the 4 inch pipe size, when you are tiling or pouring around the drain.
4) Why choose a cast nickel-bronze grate over plastic on a floor drain?
Cast nickel-bronze, which is what the 82338 uses, takes foot and cart traffic and resists corrosion in wet areas far better than a plastic strainer, which is why it gets specified in commercial and institutional utility rooms. The body is still ABS, so the cost and weight stay down while the walking surface is metal.
5) What part number do I order for the Oatey 4 inch ABS pipe fit drain with the 6 inch nickel grate?
Order Oatey 82338. That number covers the complete drain, ABS body with the 6 inch round cast nickel-bronze grate and round top, so you are not specifying the strainer separately.
6) How heavy is the Oatey 82338 drain assembly?
The assembly weighs 5.3 pounds, most of that in the cast nickel-bronze grate. Light enough to set by hand, and useful to know if you are stocking several for a multi-unit or MRO order.
