Sioux Chief 687 Blue ABS Single-Valve Service Box with Drain
The Sioux Chief 687 is a blue ABS service box built for rough-in installation of a single quarter-turn ball valve with an integrated drain. The family covers both the F1807 and F1960 PEX expansion connection standards, available in sizes ranging from 1/2\" through 1-1/4\" (including 1/2\", 3/4\", 1\", and 1-1/4\" options in the F1960 series and 1/2\", 3/4\", and 1\" in the F1807 series), each configured as a matching inlet x outlet pair (e.g. 3/4\" x 3/4\") for direct connection to PEX tubing. The durable ABS box mounts securely to a stud or between studs, and the box and valve are protected during construction by an included debris cover that keeps out dust, mud, and paint until finish-out. Because it combines a box, a full-flow 600WOG valve, and a drain into a single rough-in product, the 687 replaces multiple individual parts, cutting down on job-site mess, waste, and the buying, stocking, and handling that comes with assembling those components separately.
Key Features
- Trade Size Range: Available in matching inlet x outlet sizes from 1/2\" through 1-1/4\" for direct PEX tubing hookup at the service box.
- Durable Construction: Molded ABS box designed to mount securely to a stud or between studs for a stable rough-in installation.
- Connection Type: F1807 or F1960 PEX expansion connections on both the inlet and outlet of the box, depending on selected size option.
- Single Valve with Drain: Quarter-turn ball valve paired with an integrated drain in one enclosure, reducing the number of separate parts needed at rough-in.
- Union Connection: The valve connects via a union fitting, making it easy to remove, repair, or replace the valve without disturbing the surrounding plumbing.
- Full-Flow 600WOG Valve: Code-compliant full-flow ball valve rated 600WOG (working pressure, water, oil, gas) for dependable rough-in shutoff service across the entire size range.
- Fire-Rated Wall Compatible: This model can be used in fire-rated wall assemblies.
- Debris Cover Included: A protective cover shields the box and valve from dust, mud, and paint throughout the construction process.

Why Sioux Chief?
Sioux Chief engineers the 687 service box family around a patented design (#11,473,276), a code-compliant full-flow 600WOG valve, and a union connection that gives plumbers a serviceable, repairable shutoff point built directly into the wall, across the full F1807 and F1960 size range. The durable ABS box, secure stud-mounting, and included debris cover are built to survive the full rough-in-to-finish construction cycle, while the single-product design cuts down on the separate parts a plumber would otherwise have to source, stock, and install individually.
