Sioux Chief 696RG Series No-Lead Ice Maker Outlet Box
The Sioux Chief 696RG Series is a no-lead, OxBox-style ice maker outlet box built with a durable ABS housing, a quarter-turn ball valve, an integrated water hammer arrester, and a mounting frame for secure installation to a stud or between studs. This rough-in box gives plumbers and contractors a single, code-oriented solution for terminating an ice maker or refrigerator water line behind the wall. The 696RG Series is available across a range of supply-line connections — F1960, MIP/F, and PEX F1807 — so the same ABS body, ball valve, and arrester platform can be matched to the copper, CPVC, or PEX rough-in already run on the job. The assembly is Warnock Hersey listed to meet ASTM E-814 and CAN/ULC S115 fire-stop performance standards, and every box ships with an included debris cover to keep the valve and arrester free of dust, mud, and paint during the rough-in and finish phases of construction.
Key Features
- Durable ABS Construction: The outlet box and frame are molded from ABS thermoplastic for a lightweight, corrosion-resistant housing that stands up to jobsite handling.
- Quarter-Turn Ball Valve: A built-in quarter-turn ball valve provides quick, reliable shutoff for the ice maker or refrigerator supply line without the wear issues common to older multi-turn stops.
- Integrated Water Hammer Arrester: The arrester is built directly into the box assembly to absorb pressure surges created when the ice maker solenoid valve closes, helping protect the supply connection from repeated hammer shock.
- Connection Range: Offered across F1960, MIP/F, and PEX F1807 connection options, allowing the same box platform to be matched to whatever supply tubing is run on the job.
- Stud-Mount Frame: The included mounting frame allows the box to be secured directly to a stud or positioned between studs for a clean, flush-to-wall finish.
- Debris Cover Included: A protective cover ships with the box to shield the valve and arrester from dust, mud, and paint overspray during framing and drywall work.
- Patented Design: The assembly is manufactured under U.S. Patent #7,360,553 and #7,735,511.
