OATEY 72158 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 72158 general purpose drain connect to 4 inch PVC pipe?
Yes. The Oatey 72158 has a 4 inch PVC pipe base, so it solvent-welds to 4 inch PVC drain pipe. It is a PVC body, so use PVC primer and cement, not a transition fitting, and not for ABS or cast iron pipe without an appropriate adapter.
2) What size grate comes on the Oatey 72158 drain, and what is it made of?
It ships with a 6 inch round nickel strainer grate over a 4 inch PVC base. So the visible finished face is 6 inches across while the pipe connection is 4 inch, which is what you plan your tile or slab opening around.
3) Can I use the Oatey 72158 as a shower drain?
It is sold as a general purpose drain, not a shower drain. A shower needs a drain body with a clamping ring and weep holes to bond the waterproof membrane or pan liner. The 72158 is a plain 4 inch PVC pipe base with a 6 inch nickel grate, so use it for floor drains in utility, laundry and mechanical spaces, and pick a dedicated membrane-clamp shower drain for tiled showers.
4) Does a pipe base drain like the Oatey 72158 need a separate trap?
Yes. A pipe base drain body is just the inlet and strainer; it has no integral trap. You plumb a P-trap below it in the 4 inch PVC line, sized and vented to code, and keep the trap primed if the floor drain sees little water.
5) What is the Oatey part number I should order for the 4 inch PVC drain with the 6 inch nickel grate?
Order Oatey 72158. That is the manufacturer part number for the 4 inch PVC pipe base general purpose drain with the 6 inch nickel grate.
