Sioux Chief 696RG4021MF Fire Rated Lavatory Box with Hammer Arrester
The Sioux Chief 696RG4021MF is a fire rated lavatory outlet box built for behind-the-wall rough-in installations where a lavatory supply connection and a water hammer arrester need to be housed together in a single fire-rated enclosure. This part number, 696RG4021MF, identifies the specific lavatory box configuration from Sioux Chief's outlet box line, and it is designed for installation inside a rated wall assembly ahead of fixture trim-out. As with other Sioux Chief rough-in boxes, it is intended to be set by the rough-in plumber during framing and wall-closure stages, well before the lavatory supply lines, stops, or trim are connected.
Key Features
- Fire Rated Enclosure: Constructed to maintain a fire rating when installed per manufacturer requirements in a rated wall assembly, supporting code-driven rough-in projects that require fire-rated outlet boxes.
- Integrated Water Hammer Arrester: Includes a built-in hammer arrester to help absorb pressure surges created when the lavatory supply valve is closed, reducing pipe noise and strain on the supply line.
- Lavatory Box Configuration: Purpose-built as a lavatory outlet box, giving the rough-in plumber a dedicated enclosure for the lavatory supply connection rather than a generic multi-purpose box.
- Model 696RG4021MF Identification: The 696RG4021MF designation corresponds to a specific Sioux Chief lavatory box build within the 696 series, allowing it to be matched to compatible trim and connection components from the same line.
- Behind-the-Wall Installation: Designed to be installed and closed up inside the wall cavity during framing, with the lavatory supply connection point presented at the wall surface for later trim-out.
- Single-Unit Packaging: Supplied as an individual unit (1 EA) for straightforward ordering on a per-fixture basis during rough-in takeoff.

Why Sioux Chief?
Sioux Chief builds rough-in plumbing products, including outlet boxes, supply stops, and water hammer arresters, that are intended to go behind the wall and stay there for the life of the building. The 696RG4021MF pairs a fire-rated lavatory box with a built-in hammer arrester so plumbers can set the supply connection and surge protection in one step during framing, rather than adding a separate arrester later. For rough-in crews working on fire-rated wall assemblies, having the lavatory connection and arrester combined into a single Sioux Chief part simplifies takeoff and installation.
