OATEY 38649 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Oatey 38649 faceplate stay on the box, and does it need screws?
It holds with locking grooves that grip the supply box and keep the faceplate in place. No separate fasteners are called out for it, so it goes on after the wall is finished and comes back off if you need access to the valves.
2) Is the Oatey 38649 a complete supply box or just the cover?
Just the cover. The 38649 is the plastic faceplate only, the trim piece that snaps over an Oatey Eliminator supply box. The box itself, with the valves and the drain connection, is a separate item you order on its own.
3) I cracked the cover on an Oatey Eliminator washing machine outlet box. Is 38649 the replacement?
That's exactly what it is, a standalone replacement faceplate for the Eliminator box. Before ordering, measure the drywall opening: this one covers a 12-3/4 by 8-3/4 inch face, so if your existing plate is a different size you have a different box generation and this won't lock into the grooves.
4) Can I paint the Oatey Eliminator faceplate to match my wall?
Yes. It ships white and is made to be painted to match the wall color, which is what most property managers do when a unit turnaround calls for a fresh coat and they don't want a white rectangle standing out on a colored laundry wall.
5) Is the Oatey 38649 Eliminator faceplate plastic or metal, and will it hold up in a laundry closet?
It's high impact polystyrene, not metal. That's a rigid plastic chosen for impact resistance, which is why it survives a washer being shoved back into place against the wall. Light too, about 0.33 pounds, so it isn't loading the box.
