Sioux Chief 696RG Series Fire-Rated OxBox Washing Machine Outlet Box
The Sioux Chief 696RG Series OxBox washing machine outlet box is a no-lead, fire-rated rough-in solution built for behind-the-wall installations that separate supply and drainage into two independent ABS boxes for flexible layout options. This series is available with a choice of supply connection — F1960 or PEX F1807 — both using quarter-turn ball valves for fast shutoff and hookup, so contractors can select whichever connection matches the PEX fitting system already specified on the job. Regardless of the connection chosen, every box in the 696RG Series is listed by Warnock Hersey to meet ASTM E-814 and CAN/ULC S115 fire-rating standards, making the series suitable for fire-rated wall assemblies on multi-family and commercial projects. Durable ABS construction and included debris covers keep the cavity protected from dust, mud, and paint during rough framing and finish work, and the drain box's removable test cap allows pressure-testing before close-in.
Key Features
- Mounting: Mounts securely over a stud or between studs for straightforward rough-in installation.
- Fire-Rated Listing: Listed by Warnock Hersey to meet ASTM E-814 and CAN/ULC S115 for use in fire-rated wall assemblies, across both connection options.
- Durable Construction: Durable ABS boxes resist cracking and impact during framing, drywall, and finish trades.
- Connection Options: Available in F1960 or PEX F1807 supply connections, each paired with quarter-turn ball valves for fast shutoff and hookup.
- Separate Box Design: Independent supply and drainage boxes allow flexible layout choices on the job site.
- Test Cap: Test cap in the drain box removes easily with pliers for pressure-testing the drain line before close-in.
- Debris Protection: Included debris covers shield the boxes from dust, mud, and paint during construction.
