OATEY 72359 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 72359 floor drain connect to 4 inch PVC DWV pipe?
Yes. The Oatey 72359 has a 4 inch PVC hub-fit base, so the outlet accepts 4 inch PVC DWV pipe solvent welded into the hub. Because it is a hub fit rather than a spigot, the pipe goes inside the drain body, not over it. It is PVC only, so use PVC cement, not ABS.
2) What size is the grate on the Oatey 72359 drain, and what is it made of?
An 8 inch round cast nickel grate and round top. That gives a considerably larger visible surface than the 4 inch outlet below it, so plan your tile or slab cut-out around the 8 inch top rather than the pipe size.
3) Is a PVC-bodied drain like this Oatey 72359 okay for a general purpose floor drain, or do I need cast iron?
For general purpose service (utility rooms, laundry, mechanical rooms, basements) on a PVC DWV system, the 72359's PVC body is the straightforward match, and it comes in at 2.66 lb so it is easy to set and support during a pour. Where a drain has to take vehicle or heavy rolling loads, or hot process discharge, a cast iron body drain is the better call instead.
4) What is the exact manufacturer part number for this Oatey 4 inch hub fit drain with the 8 inch nickel grate?
Oatey part number 72359. That single MPN covers the complete assembly: PVC 4 inch hub-fit body, round top, and 8 inch cast nickel grate. Order by 72359 and the grate comes with it.
5) Is the strainer on the Oatey 72359 plastic or metal? I keep replacing broken plastic ones.
Metal. The grate is cast nickel, not plastic, so it holds up to foot traffic and mop carts far better than a molded plastic strainer while the body itself stays PVC for a solvent weld to the drain line.
6) Can I order the Oatey 72359 with a square grate instead of round?
No. Model 72359 is built with a round top and an 8 inch cast nickel round grate, and that is the only configuration under this part number. If the opening is already cut square, you need a different Oatey general purpose drain with a square strainer.
