Sioux Chief 696R Fire-Rated Washing Machine Outlet Box with Water Hammer Arrester

The Sioux Chief 696R Series is a fire-rated OxBox washing machine outlet box built for behind-the-wall laundry rough-in, combining a factory-integrated water hammer arrester and a mounting frame in a single assembly. This outlet box is available across the series in a choice of supply connection types – F1960, MIP/F, or PEX F1807 crimp – so a plumber can match the box to the job's rough-in method while relying on the same fire-rated body, arrester, and frame no matter which connection style is selected. Designed for installation in fire-rated wall assemblies, the box gives a plumber one code-focused location to set the washing machine hot and cold supply along with the drain connection during rough-in, then close the wall around it at finish. The built-in arrester is positioned to absorb the pressure surge created when a washing machine solenoid valve closes, helping quiet water hammer noise in the branch supply lines feeding the laundry connection. Manufactured in the United States, this OxBox ships as a complete rough-in unit ready to set and frame into the wall cavity, with the connection style selected at order time from the three options spanning F1960, MIP/F, and PEX F1807 crimp across the 696R family.

Key Features

  • Selectable Supply Connections: Offered in F1960, MIP/F, or PEX F1807 crimp configurations, matching the hot and cold laundry supply connection method used on the job.
  • Fire-Rated Construction: Rated for installation in fire-rated wall assemblies, supporting laundry rough-in work where the wall penetration must maintain its fire rating.
  • Integrated Water Hammer Arrester: A factory-installed arrester on the box absorbs the pressure spike generated when a washing machine solenoid valve closes, reducing pipe hammer and noise in the supply lines.
  • Includes Mounting Frame: Ships with a frame for setting and squaring the box in the wall cavity during rough-in, ahead of drywall and finish work.
  • OxBox Washing Machine Outlet Box: A purpose-built outlet box consolidates the hot and cold supply stops and the drain connection behind a single wall-plate location for the laundry appliance.
  • Single-Trip Rough-In: Combining the supply connections, arrester, and frame in one box reduces the number of separate rough-in components a plumber has to set and align.
  • Connection Range: The 696R series spans F1960, MIP/F, and PEX F1807 connection styles on the same fire-rated body, letting one SKU family cover multiple rough-in methods on the same job site.
  • Made in USA: Manufactured in the United States as a complete, ready-to-set rough-in unit.

Sioux Chief 696R2313WF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which supply connection types does the Sioux Chief 696R2313 washing machine outlet box come in?
Three connection styles: PEX F1807 crimp (696R2313XF), F1960 PEX expansion (696R2313WF), and MIP/F threaded (696R2313MF). Pick the one that matches the supply piping method you're already running in the laundry wall, since the inlets are factory-configured and can't be swapped on the box.
2) Can I install a washing machine outlet box in a fire-rated wall assembly?
The Sioux Chief 696R OxBox is built as a fire-rated outlet box, so it's intended for laundry rough-in where the wall penetration has to maintain the assembly's fire rating. A standard non-rated outlet box in that same wall would compromise the rating.
3) Does this washing machine box include a water hammer arrester, or do I have to add one?
The arrester is factory-installed on the box. It's positioned to absorb the pressure spike when the washer's solenoid valve slams shut, so you don't need to tee in separate arresters on the hot and cold branches at the laundry connection.
4) I'm running PEX-A with expansion fittings. Which version of the Sioux Chief 696R do I order?
Order the 696R2313WF, the F1960 version. F1960 is the cold-expansion PEX standard; the 696R2313XF is for F1807 crimp-ring fittings and the 696R2313MF is threaded MIP/F for copper or CPVC transitions with adapters.
5) Do I need a separate mounting bracket to set the OxBox in the stud bay?
No separate bracket. The 696R ships with a mounting frame for setting and squaring the box in the wall cavity at rough-in, before drywall goes on.
6) Does this box handle the washer drain as well as the hot and cold supplies?
Yes. The OxBox consolidates the hot and cold supply stops and the drain connection behind one wall-plate location, which is the point of using an outlet box instead of separate stub-outs and a standpipe set apart from each other.
7) How does the 696R ship for a multi-unit apartment job?
It's cased 10 each, which suits repeat laundry closets in apartment and condo work where the same rough-in repeats unit to unit. Manufactured in the United States.
