Sioux Chief 696RG Oxbox No-Lead Fire-Rated Washing Machine Outlet Box

The Sioux Chief 696RG Oxbox is a no-lead, fire-rated washing machine outlet box system built for rough-in installation behind the wall ahead of laundry appliance connections. This family of outlet boxes pairs durable ABS supply and drain boxes with a built-in water hammer arrester to absorb pressure spikes caused by quick-closing solenoid valves in washing machines, and is available in a choice of supply connection types to match the rough-in method on the job — F1960, MIP/F, or PEX F1807. The box is Warnock Hersey listed to meet the ASTM E-814 and CAN/ULC S115 fire-rated assembly standards, making it suitable for fire-rated wall applications where the penetration must maintain the wall's fire rating. Separate supply and drain boxes give the installer flexible layout options on the rough-in, and the whole assembly ships ready for stud or between-stud mounting.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: ABS supply and drain boxes resist cracking and corrosion typical of rough-in wet-wall environments.
  • Quarter-Turn Ball Valves: Fast, reliable shutoff for hot and cold supply lines feeding the washing machine.
  • Connection Options: Available in F1960, MIP/F, or PEX F1807 supply connections to match the piping method used on the rough-in — select the option that fits your job.
  • Integrated Water Hammer Arrester: Dampens pressure surges generated by quick-closing washing machine solenoid valves, protecting the supply piping from hammering noise and stress.
  • Separate Supply & Drain Boxes: Independent boxes allow the installer to configure layout to fit framing and appliance placement rather than being locked into a single combined footprint.
  • Debris Covers Included: Protective covers shield the box interior from dust, mud, and paint overspray during the rough-in and finish phases of construction.
  • Removable Test Cap: The drain box test cap removes easily with pliers for pressure testing before the wall is closed up.
  • No-Lead Compliant: Meets Prop 65 lead-content requirements, referenced in the manufacturer's compliance documentation as Prop 82.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds the Oxbox outlet box family with durable ABS construction, quarter-turn ball valves, and an integrated water hammer arrester so plumbers can complete a code-oriented laundry rough-in with fewer callbacks for hammering pipes, choosing whichever of the F1960, MIP/F, or PEX F1807 connections fits the job. The Warnock Hersey listing to ASTM E-814 and CAN/ULC S115 supports use in fire-rated wall assemblies, and the no-lead compliance reflects Sioux Chief's attention to current plumbing material requirements across every connection option in this family. Installers appreciate having separate supply and drain boxes on the 696RG Oxbox, since it lets the rough-in layout adapt to framing constraints instead of forcing a single fixed footprint, and the included debris covers keep the box clean through drywall, mudding, and paint before the washing machine is ever connected.

Sioux Chief 696RG2313WF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Sioux Chief 696RG2313 Oxbox washing machine outlet box be used in a fire-rated wall?
Yes. The 696RG2313 Oxbox is Warnock Hersey listed and meets the ASTM E-814 and CAN/ULC S115 fire-rated assembly standards, so the laundry penetration can be made without breaking the rating of the wall assembly. That is the main reason to pick this version over a standard non-rated outlet box in multi-family, mid-rise, and commercial laundry closets.
2) What supply connections does the 696RG2313 Oxbox come in?
Three connection options are offered on the 696RG2313 Oxbox: MIP/F threaded (model 696RG2313MF), F1960 PEX cold-expansion (696RG2313WF), and PEX F1807 crimp (696RG2313XF). Pick the one that matches the supply piping and the tool set already on the job, since the box itself is otherwise the same.
3) Do I still need to install a separate water hammer arrester for the washer?
No separate arrester is needed. The Oxbox 696RG2313 has an arrester built in, sized to absorb the pressure spikes a washing machine's quick-closing solenoid valves create. That is what keeps the supply piping from banging and is the usual reason plumbers get callbacks on a laundry rough-in done with a plain outlet box.
4) Are the supply and drain in one box or two on this Oxbox?
Two. The supply box and the drain box are separate pieces, so you can place them where the framing and the appliance location allow rather than working around one fixed combined footprint. Both are ABS and both mount to a stud or between studs.
5) How do I pressure test the drain before closing the wall on a Sioux Chief Oxbox?
The drain box ships with a removable test cap that pulls out with pliers, so you can hold the test through rough-in and then open it up before the wall is closed. Debris covers are also included to keep dust, mud, and paint overspray out of the boxes during rough-in and finish.
6) Does the 696RG2313 Oxbox meet no-lead requirements for potable water?
It is a no-lead unit and meets Prop 65 lead-content requirements, which Sioux Chief's compliance paperwork references as Prop 82. The supply side uses quarter-turn ball valves for hot and cold shutoff.
7) Can I use this Oxbox to replace an existing washing machine box that has no arrester?
Yes, renovation work replacing non-arrester outlet boxes is one of the stated applications for the 696RG2313. Because it is a rough-in assembly that mounts to framing, you will be opening the wall to swap it, and you should order the connection style that matches the existing supply piping: MIP/F threaded, F1960, or PEX F1807.
8) Is the Sioux Chief Oxbox sold individually or by the carton?
Packaging is 10 each per carton, which suits standardizing a block of laundry closets in a multi-family or renovation package. The boxes are made in the United States.
