OATEY 38871 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of connection does the Oatey 38871 replacement valve have?
The Oatey 38871 is a 3/4 inch copper connection quarter turn valve, supplied with a blue handle. The 3/4 inch copper end means it mates to 3/4 inch nominal copper tube, so it drops onto the same run size it replaces without an adapter.
2) Can I replace a leaking washing machine box valve without changing the whole outlet box?
That is what the 38871 is for. It is a replacement quarter turn valve, so a failed or weeping valve comes out and the new one goes in while the box, trim and wall opening stay put. Match the 3/4 inch copper connection to the existing stub before you cut anything.
3) Does the blue handle on the Oatey 38871 valve mean it is only for cold water?
Blue is the handle color the 38871 ships with, and on a washing machine outlet box or supply pair blue marks the cold side. The valve itself is a quarter turn ball-type shutoff, so it works on either line; the color is for identification at the box, not a limit on the valve.
4) Is the Oatey 38871 a quarter turn ball valve or a multi-turn stem valve?
Quarter turn. One 90 degree sweep of the handle takes it from full open to full closed, which is what property managers and maintenance crews generally standardize on because there is no packing nut to weep and shutoff is immediate during a hose burst.
5) What part number do I order for the Oatey 3/4 inch copper quarter turn replacement valve in blue?
Order Oatey 38871. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the 3/4 inch copper quarter turn replacement valve with the blue handle, and Oatey publishes a spec sheet for it under the same number.
6) How much does the Oatey 38871 valve weigh for shipping or stocking on a truck?
Listed product weight is 0.7, with a volume figure of 0.049. It is a small single valve, so a maintenance stock of several on the van takes up very little space.
