OATEY 43568 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 43568 snap-in drain fit 4 inch ABS Schedule 40 DWV pipe?
Yes. The 43568 is sized for 4 inch drain pipe and drops into ABS Sch. 40 DWV. It snaps in, and it can also be solvent welded for a permanent set, which is the connection type Oatey lists for it. The pipe needs to be cut flush with the finished floor for the drain to sit right.
2) Can I use a snap-in floor drain in a shower or anywhere with a waterproofing membrane?
No. The 43568 is built for drainage in areas that do not require a waterproofing membrane. If you have a membrane, such as a tiled shower pan, you need a clamping ring drain that bonds to the membrane instead. This one only covers an open pipe cut flush with the floor and lets it drain.
3) Is the Oatey 43568 drain ABS or PVC, and what color is it?
ABS, molded in black. That matters on the joint: ABS cement bonds ABS to ABS, so if the pipe in your floor is white PVC this is the wrong material to solvent weld to. Match the drain to the pipe already in the slab.
4) How big is the strainer on the Oatey 4 inch snap-in drain, and can the cover be taken off?
The strainer measures 4-1/2 inches across, so it laps over the 4 inch pipe opening. It is a one-piece design, meaning the cover cannot be removed. For property managers that is the point: nobody pops the grate off a common-area or utility room drain.
5) Can this Oatey drain be used on a vent stack or as an air inlet strainer?
Yes. Besides floor drain duty, the 43568 works as a vent stack strainer or air inlet strainer on 4 inch ABS. Same snap-in fit, same 4-1/2 inch strainer keeping debris and pests out of the opening.
6) What do I need besides the drain itself to install the Oatey 43568?
Very little. Cut the 4 inch ABS stub flush with the finished floor, clean the inside, and snap the drain in. If you want it permanent, you will need ABS solvent cement, which is not part of the drain. No clamping ring, no gaskets, no fasteners. The unit weighs about half a pound.
7) What orientation or floor slope does this Oatey snap-in drain need?
It is a general purpose drain, not directional, so there is no top/bottom outlet orientation to specify. It simply caps a vertical pipe stub cut flush with the finished floor and strains what runs into it.
8) Which Oatey part number and UPC should I order for the 4 inch ABS snap-in drain?
Order Oatey model 43568, UPC 038753435688. One model covers the whole item, so there are no finish or size options to pick through, which makes it easy to standardize across a portfolio of buildings.
