OATEY 38687 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Oatey 38687 outlet box come with supply valves installed?
No. The 38687 is a plain box with no valves. You get the metal box and faceplate only, so you supply and install your own valves or use it purely as a recessed access box. If you want a box with valves already fitted, you need a different Oatey configuration.
2) How does the Oatey 38687 mount between studs during rough-in?
It mounts with nailplate support brackets, so it fastens directly to the framing before drywall goes up. That makes it a rough-in part, not a retrofit box you cut into finished wall. Set the box depth so the faceplate sits flush once the wall board is on.
3) Is the Oatey 38687 box plastic or steel?
Steel, 20 gauge. That is the reason a lot of commercial and multi-family specs call for the metal box over a plastic one: it takes screws and abuse in a laundry closet better, and it weighs about 1.74 pounds as shipped.
4) What color is the Oatey 38687 faceplate, and will it match the other laundry boxes in my building?
White. If your existing laundry boxes are the standard white plastic or painted units, the 38687 blends with them. The visible faceplate is 6-3/4 by 6-3/4 inches square with a 5 by 5 inch opening, so compare that footprint against what is on the wall now before you assume a one-for-one swap of the trim.
5) Can I use the Oatey 38687 as a general recessed access box instead of a washing machine box?
Yes, and that is a common use for the no-valve version. With nothing plumbed into it, the 20 gauge steel box and white 6-3/4 inch square faceplate work as a recessed enclosure for whatever supply or shutoff arrangement you build yourself inside the 5-1/2 by 5 by 2-1/2 inch cavity.
