OATEY 38989 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Oatey 38989 include a water hammer arrestor?
No. The 38989 is the no-hammer version, meaning it ships without an integral water hammer arrestor. If the run feeds a fast-closing ice maker solenoid on a long or high-pressure line and you want hammer control built into the box, you need an arrestor-equipped ice maker outlet box instead, or a separate arrestor on the supply.
2) Can the Oatey 38989 be mounted to a stud during framing, or only after the wall is closed?
It is built for rough-in during framing. The box has nailplate support brackets, so it fastens directly to the stud face and sets its own depth before drywall goes on. That is also why the faceplate is larger than the box, it finishes over the drywall after the wall is closed.
3) Is the Oatey 38989 ice maker box plastic or metal?
Metal. The box is formed from 20 gauge steel rather than molded plastic, which is what property managers and GCs usually want in a multi-family or commercial wall where the box may get bumped during cabinet or fridge installs.
4) What is the Oatey part number and barcode family for this metal ice maker outlet box?
It is Oatey model 38989, sold as a single metal ice maker outlet box. Spec it by that number when you are matching other boxes already installed in a building so the faceplate size stays consistent at 6-3/4 by 6-3/4 inches.
