OATEY 38982 Metal, Single Lever, Copper, 2" PVC Tailpiece - Standard Pack

The Oatey 38982 has a 2 inch drain opening, and it accepts three connection methods: rubber coupling, solvent weld, or threaded. That means you can tie it into 2 inch PVC with a standard solvent weld tailpiece, or use a no-hub style rubber coupling if you are transitioning to existing cast iron or ABS in a wall cavity you would rather not re-pipe.

Either side works. The 38982 allows a left or right hand drain, so you do not have to order a handed version or reverse your rough-in to suit the box. Set the stud bay and run the drain on whichever side your stack is on.

No. Two metal support brackets ship with the 38982, which is what you fasten to the studs to hold the box square in the bay. What is not included is the supply piping and the drain tailpiece connection material, so plan on the solvent weld fitting, coupling, or threaded adapter for the 2 inch outlet along with your water supply connections.

Metal. The box body is 20 gauge steel rather than molded plastic, which is what property managers and MRO buyers usually want in laundry rooms that see repeated hose changes and machine moves.

It is a single lever valve with copper connections, so one handle shuts both hot and cold at once. That is the arrangement most tenants can actually operate between loads, versus twin quarter turn handles that often get left open.

Order it as Oatey model 38982. Product weight is listed at 6, and shipping volume at 0.326, which matters if you are palletizing a multi-unit laundry retrofit and need to work out cube per carton.
