Sioux Chief OxBox 696 Series CSST Gas Outlet Box with Frame

The Sioux Chief OxBox 696 Series CSST Gas Outlet Box with Frame gives plumbers and gas fitters a dedicated rough-in point for stubbing out gas appliance connections behind the wall. This family is available with NPT threaded connections ranging from 1/2" x 1/2" NPT up to 3/4" NPT, letting installers select the box size that matches the gas appliance load at each rough-in location. Every box in the line ships with a mounting frame for a clean, recessed finish and is built for use with CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) gas piping systems. A box adapter from the CSST manufacturer is required to complete the tubing-to-box connection on either NPT size offered in this family.

Key Features

  • NPT Size Range: available in 1/2" x 1/2" NPT and 3/4" NPT connection sizes to cover standard residential and light-commercial gas appliance stub-outs, so installers can match the box to the appliance load at each rough-in location.
  • NPT Threaded Connections: national pipe thread ports accept standard threaded gas fittings for a secure, leak-tight hookup across the Threaded NPT connection type used throughout this family.
  • Frame Included: every box in the family ships with a mounting frame so it sits flush and finished once recessed into the wall cavity, rather than left as a bare box awaiting drywall.
  • CSST-Ready Design: built to integrate with CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) gas piping systems; a box adapter from the CSST manufacturer is required to complete the tubing-to-box connection on either NPT size selected.
  • Recessed Rough-In: mounts inside the wall stud bay ahead of drywall, keeping the gas stub-out concealed until the appliance connector is run to it.
  • Country of Origin: manufactured in Taiwan.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds its OxBox gas outlet boxes with an integrated frame for a secure, recessed rough-in that gas fitters can count on behind the finished wall, rather than a loose box that shifts before drywall goes up. Across the 1/2" x 1/2" NPT and 3/4" NPT sizes in this family, the CSST-ready, threaded-NPT design gives installers a straightforward way to bring gas piping to appliance locations, provided the correct box adapter from the CSST tubing manufacturer is used to complete the run. For plumbing and gas contractors standardizing rough-in boxes across a job, the OxBox 696 Series gives a consistent, frame-finished stub-out for every gas appliance location on the plan, no matter which NPT size the appliance calls for, with each carton packed 6 EA for job-site efficiency. Choosing the correct connection size up front, from 1/2" x 1/2" NPT through 3/4" NPT, helps ensure the rough-in box is sized correctly before drywall closes in the wall cavity, reducing callbacks and rework once the CSST tubing and appliance connectors are installed.

Sioux Chief 696-1021GF – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need anything else to connect CSST tubing to the Sioux Chief OxBox gas outlet box?
Yes. The OxBox gas outlet box takes a box adapter supplied by the CSST tubing manufacturer to complete the tubing-to-box connection. The box itself gives you NPT threaded ports on the supply and outlet sides, so standard threaded gas fittings land directly, but the corrugated stainless steel tubing needs the manufacturer's own adapter to terminate into the box. Plan for that adapter on the material list for every appliance location.
2) What sizes does the Sioux Chief OxBox CSST gas outlet box come in?
Two: a 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch NPT version, model 696-1021GF, and a 3/4 inch NPT version, model 696-1031GF. The 1/2 inch size covers standard residential and light-commercial appliance stub-outs. Go to the 3/4 inch when the gas load at that location calls for larger pipe, such as a longer run feeding a higher-BTU appliance.
3) Does the OxBox gas outlet box include a mounting frame, or do I buy that separately?
The frame ships with the box. Both the 696-1021GF and 696-1031GF are the GF (frame) configuration, so the box mounts in the stud bay and finishes flush once drywall goes on. You are not buying a loose box that shifts before the board goes up.
4) Can I use this gas outlet box for a dryer, range, or water heater hookup?
Those are exactly the applications it is built for. The OxBox gives a recessed rough-in point for washer, dryer, range, water heater, or fireplace gas connections, so the stub-out stays concealed in the wall cavity until the appliance connector is run to it. For most of those the 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch NPT box (696-1021GF) is the right size.
5) Is this box installed before or after drywall?
Before. It mounts inside the stud bay during rough-in, ahead of drywall, and the included frame sets the finished plane so the box reads flush when the wall is closed up. That makes it a new-construction and remodel rough-in item, not a retrofit you add to a finished wall.
6) Can I pipe to the Sioux Chief OxBox with black iron instead of CSST?
The ports are National Pipe Thread on both the supply and outlet sides, so any standard threaded gas fitting makes up to them, including rigid pipe. The CSST-ready language refers to the box adapter route: if you run corrugated stainless steel tubing, you need the adapter from that tubing's manufacturer to land it. With threaded pipe you are working directly against the NPT ports.
7) How many OxBox gas outlet boxes come in a carton?
Six each per carton. That matters if you are standardizing rough-in boxes across a multi-unit or tract job and want to stage by the carton rather than counting loose boxes per appliance location.
8) Where is the Sioux Chief OxBox gas outlet box made?
Taiwan. Worth knowing if your project has country-of-origin reporting or procurement documentation requirements on supplied materials.
