OATEY 43569 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 43569 snap-in drain fit 4 inch PVC Schedule 40 DWV pipe?
Yes. The Oatey 43569 is sized for 4 inch PVC Sch. 40 DWV pipe and snaps into the pipe hub. It can also be solvent welded in place if you want it permanent rather than friction-fit. Note this is a drain fitting only, not a complete drain body assembly.
2) Can the strainer cover be lifted off the Oatey 43569 for cleaning or rodding the line?
No. The 43569 is a one-piece design and the cover is not removable, which is the point for tenant spaces, laundry rooms and utility areas where property managers do not want the grate pulled or lost. If you need snake access or a removable grate for maintenance, specify a two-piece drain with a screw-down or lift-out strainer instead.
3) Is the Oatey 43569 snap-in drain suitable for a shower or a floor with a waterproofing membrane?
No, and this is the most common misapplication. The 43569 is built for drainage in areas that do not require a waterproofing membrane. It has no clamping ring or weep holes to tie a membrane into, so it is wrong for showers, wet rooms, or any assembly with a pan liner. Those need a clamping-collar shower drain. Use the snap-in for basement floors, mechanical rooms, garages and similar bare-slab applications.
4) How wide is the strainer on the Oatey 43569 drain?
The strainer measures 4-1/2 inches across, so it overlaps the 4 inch pipe opening and sits on the surrounding surface. Worth checking against your finished floor cutout before you set the tile or pour, since the cover is not adjustable.
5) Can I use the Oatey 43569 as a vent stack terminal or air inlet strainer?
Yes, that is a listed use. The same snap-in body can cap a 4 inch vent stack or serve as an air inlet strainer, keeping debris and rodents out of an open pipe while letting the stack breathe. Handy on roof-level stack terminations and crawlspace inlets where a full roof flashing assembly is not what you need.
6) Do I need cement to install the Oatey 43569, or does it just push in?
Either way works. It snaps into the 4 inch Sch. 40 DWV hub by friction for a quick retrofit over an open pipe, or you can solvent weld it with PVC cement when you want it permanent and tamper-resistant. No mounting screws, clamping ring or extra hardware is involved.
7) What does the Oatey 43569 drain weigh for a parts order or truck stock?
About 0.283 lb per unit, with a shipping volume of roughly 0.027. It is light enough that MRO buyers commonly carry several on the van for open-pipe cleanup and stack capping jobs.
