Sioux Chief 696-G2313MF No-Lead Oxbox Washing Machine Outlet Box with Sweat Connection and Water Hammer Arrester
The Sioux Chief 696-G2313MF Oxbox is a no-lead washing machine outlet box built for rough-in installation behind the wall, with a sweat (solder) supply connection and an integrated water hammer arrester to absorb pressure surges when the washer solenoid valves shut off. The box is constructed of durable ABS and ships with quarter-turn ball valves on the supply lines, giving the plumber a reliable, code-ready shutoff at the point of connection. Separate supply and drainage boxes allow flexible layout options on the job site, and the unit mounts securely over a stud or between studs for a clean, stable rough-in.
Key Features
- No-Lead Construction: Designed for potable water supply connections per the no-lead designation in the product data.
- Durable ABS Boxes: Both the supply and drainage boxes are molded from ABS for a rugged, long-lasting rough-in enclosure.
- Sweat Connection with Water Hammer Arrester: The supply side terminates in a sweat (solder) connection and incorporates a built-in water hammer arrester to cushion the hydraulic shock caused by quick-closing washer valves.
- Quarter-Turn Ball Valves: Integrated quarter-turn ball valves provide quick, positive shutoff for hot and cold supply lines.
- Separate Supply and Drainage Boxes: Independent boxes for supply and drain give installers flexibility in stud layout and routing.
- Secure Stud Mounting: Mounts securely over a stud or between studs for a stable, flush-to-wall rough-in installation.
- Accessible Test Cap: The test cap in the drain box removes easily with pliers for pressure testing during rough-in.
- Debris Covers Included: Protective covers shield the boxes from dust, mud, and paint during the construction process prior to trim-out.
