OATEY 72338 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How big is the grate on the Oatey 72338, and will it cover my existing drain opening?
It comes with a 6 inch round cast nickel grate and round top. That 6 inch face is what sits flush in the finished floor, so measure your existing opening: a 6 inch round grate will cover a smaller opening cut for a 4 inch pipe but will not fill a larger 7 or 8 inch recess without patching.
2) Is the Oatey 72338 drain grate metal or plastic?
Two materials in one assembly: the drain body is PVC and the grate is cast metal with a nickel finish. That matters where a plastic grate would not survive the traffic, such as a basement, utility room, or garage floor where carts or equipment roll over it.
3) Do I need a separate trap with the Oatey 72338 floor drain?
Yes, plan on a trap in the line. The 72338 is a drain body and grate assembly that fits 4 inch PVC pipe, so the P-trap and any trap primer connection are separate items you solvent weld into the run below the drain.
4) What is the Oatey 72338 general purpose drain actually used for?
It is a general purpose floor drain: a PVC body that ties into a 4 inch PVC waste line with a 6 inch round cast grate at the floor. Typical use is mechanical rooms, laundry rooms, basements, and utility areas where you need a point drain for incidental water or equipment discharge, not a specialty trench or shower application.
5) What is the exact part number to order this Oatey 4 inch drain with the 6 inch nickel grate?
Order Oatey model 72338. That number covers the complete assembly: the 4 inch PVC pipe fit body, the round top, and the 6 inch cast nickel grate. There is one configuration, so there is no finish or size suffix to specify.
6) How heavy is the Oatey 72338 drain assembly?
The complete 72338 assembly runs about 4 pounds, most of that in the cast grate rather than the PVC body. Useful if you are ordering a pallet of them for a multi-family or MRO stock order and pricing freight by weight.
