OATEY 38983 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the OATEY 38983 washing machine outlet box and what comes with it?
The OATEY 38983 is a metal washing machine outlet box with 1/4-turn valves on copper tailpieces and a 2 inch drain opening. The box is 20-gauge steel and ships with two metal support brackets for framing. The valves are integral to the box on copper tailpieces, so you are connecting copper supply lines to it rather than buying valves separately.
2) Will the OATEY 38983 outlet box fit between studs on 16 inch centers?
The box body measures 9 in. W x 6-1/8 in. H x 3-1/16 in. D, so it drops into a standard 16 in. on center stud bay (roughly 14-1/2 inches clear) with room on both sides for the support brackets. At 3-1/16 in. deep it also sits within a 2x4 wall without pushing the drywall.
3) Can I plumb the drain on the 38983 to the left side instead of the right?
Either side works. The 38983 is built to allow a left or right hand drain, so you can set it in the bay to suit where the stack or trap arm lands instead of reframing around the box.
4) How does the 2 inch drain on the OATEY 38983 connect to my waste line?
The 2 in. drain opening takes a rubber coupling, a solvent weld joint, or a threaded connection, so it will tie into 2 in. ABS or PVC branch waste however your rough-in is run. The tailpieces on the supply side are copper, so plan on sweat or press connections there.
5) How much wall opening does the faceplate on the OATEY 38983 cover?
The faceplate is 10-7/8 in. W x 7-3/4 in. H, against a box that is 9 in. wide by 6-1/8 in. high. That gives you roughly an inch of overlap on each side and about three quarters of an inch top and bottom, so a slightly oversized drywall cutout still gets covered without patching.
6) Is the OATEY 38983 a metal box or plastic, and does that matter for a fire rated laundry wall?
It is a metal box, 20-gauge steel, rather than a molded plastic outlet box. Steel is what inspectors and spec writers usually call for in multi-family laundry walls, and it takes the two included support brackets solidly. Copper tailpieces with quarter turn valves are factory fitted to the box.
7) What does the OATEY 38983 weigh for a bulk order of laundry rough-ins?
Each 38983 outlet box is listed at 5 lb with a shipping volume of 0.255, useful if you are palletizing a run of units for a multi-family rough-in rather than buying one or two.
