Sioux Chief 985-6 1-1/2" Chrome-Plated Die-Cast Slip Nut

The Sioux Chief 985-6 is a 1-1/2" slip nut machined from die-cast metal and finished in chrome plating for tubular waste and P-trap slip-joint connections. It threads onto standard 1-1/2" tubular drain fittings to compress the slip-joint washer and draw the connection tight, making it a direct-fit replacement or rough-in component for trap arms, tailpieces, and other tubular waste hardware. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion on exposed sections of the drain assembly, and the die-cast body is sized to Sioux Chief's standard tubular waste dimensions for consistent fit against compatible fittings. Packaged 500 EA per case, this slip nut is built for plumbing contractors, service techs, and distributors who need to keep high-turn tubular waste hardware on the truck or in the warehouse.

  • Chrome-Plated Finish: plated finish resists corrosion and holds up on sections of the tubular assembly that remain visible after installation.
  • Slip-Joint Connection: threads onto tubular slip-joint fittings to compress the washer and seal the joint on P-traps, tailpieces, and waste arms.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief supplies rough-in plumbing hardware built for the realities of jobsite installation and repair, and the 985-6 slip nut continues that focus with a die-cast body and chrome-plated finish sized to fit standard 1-1/2" tubular waste connections.

Sioux Chief 985-6 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sioux Chief 985-6 slip nut fit a standard 1-1/2 inch P-trap?
Yes. The 985-6 is a 1-1/2 inch slip nut sized to standard tubular waste dimensions, so it threads onto 1-1/2 inch tubular drain and trap fittings and compresses the slip-joint washer to pull the joint tight. It works on P-trap unions, trap arms and sink tailpieces. If your trap is 1-1/4 inch tubular, which is common on older lavatory work, this nut is the wrong size.
2) Does the 985-6 slip nut come with a washer, or do I need to buy that separately?
The 985-6 is the nut only. It threads on to compress a slip-joint washer, so you need a 1-1/2 inch slip-joint washer (rubber or poly) in hand to make the seal. On a service call where the nut is cracked, the washer is usually worth replacing at the same time.
3) How is the 985-6 sold - can I buy one nut or is it a case quantity?
It is packaged 500 each per case. That is bulk tubular waste stock aimed at distributors and service plumbers who turn slip nuts constantly, not a one-off repair pack. For a single nut replacement, expect to be buying out of a case quantity.
4) Is a chrome-plated slip nut necessary, or can I use a plain plastic one under a sink?
It depends on whether the joint shows. Under an enclosed cabinet, finish is cosmetic. On an exposed trap, a pedestal lavatory, a wall-hung sink or commercial restroom work where the P-trap is visible, the chrome plating on the 985-6 matches the rest of the chrome tubular assembly and resists corrosion on the exposed sections. The die-cast metal body also takes repeated tightening and loosening better than a thin plastic nut on a fixture that gets serviced often.
5) Can I use this slip nut to replace a cracked nut on an existing drain without pulling the whole trap?
Yes, that is the normal use. Because it is sized to standard 1-1/2 inch tubular waste dimensions, you can back the old nut off the tailpiece or trap arm, slide the new 985-6 and a fresh washer on, and retighten without rebuilding the assembly. Keep the orientation right: the nut goes on the tube before the washer seats against the fitting shoulder.
6) Is the 985-6 slip nut metal or plastic, and will it strip if I overtighten it?
It is a die-cast metal body, not plastic, which gives consistent thread engagement through repeated tightening cycles on fixtures that get serviced. Slip joints still only need hand-tight plus a light turn with a basin wrench; the seal comes from the washer, not from torque.
