OATEY 38996 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Oatey 38996 washing machine outlet box drain on either the left or right side?
Yes. The 38996 outlet box is built to allow a left or right hand drain, so you can set it up to suit whichever side the drain line comes in on. That means one part number covers both wall conditions instead of stocking a left and a right version.
2) What size drain opening does the Oatey 38996 have, and how does it connect?
The drain opening is 2 inches, and it will take a rubber coupling, a solvent weld connection, or a threaded connection. That gives you three ways to tie into the standpipe, so it works whether you are running PVC, ABS with a no-hub style coupling, or picking up existing threaded pipe.
3) Does the Oatey 38996 washing machine box work with CPVC water lines?
Yes, the 38996 is the CPVC version, with quarter turn valves and built in water hammer arrestors on the supply side. If your supplies are copper or PEX rather than CPVC, you want the matching connection version of the box instead, since the valve inlets are specific to the pipe material.
4) Does the Oatey 38996 come with brackets to mount it to the studs?
Two metal support brackets are included with the box, so you can fasten it into the framing without buying a separate mounting kit. The enclosure itself is 20 gauge steel rather than plastic.
5) What is the 2 inch rubber tailpiece on the Oatey 38996 for?
The 2 inch rubber tailpiece is the drain connection off the box. It slips onto 2 inch pipe and clamps, so you can tie the box to an existing standpipe without solvent welding or cutting threads in a finished wall. If you prefer a glued joint, the same 2 inch opening accepts a solvent weld or threaded connection instead.
6) What color is the Oatey 38996 faceplate, and how much does the unit weigh?
White faceplate, which is what most laundry walls get so it reads clean against painted drywall. The complete unit weighs 4.64 pounds, light enough to hold in place single handed while you drive the bracket screws.
