OATEY 1046A-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 1046A-1 trap connect to 1-1/2 inch drain pipe?
Yes. The Oatey 1046A-1 is a 1-1/2 inch offset P-trap, which is the standard drain size for a kitchen sink or laundry tub tailpiece and waste arm. If your sink tailpiece or wall stub is 1-1/4 inch, this is the wrong size trap for that opening.
2) What is an offset P-trap used for instead of a standard P-trap?
An offset trap like the Oatey 1046A-1 is used when the sink drain outlet does not line up vertically with the wall waste opening. The offset leg shifts the horizontal run sideways so you can pick up a drain that sits off-center, which is common under a double bowl sink or where cabinet framing forces the tailpiece out of line. If your tailpiece lands directly above the waste arm, a straight P-trap is the simpler fit.
3) Is 20 gauge heavy enough for a commercial or multi-family install?
The 1046A-1 is built in 20 gauge, which is the lighter of the two common tubular trap gauges. For apartment turns, residential kitchen and laundry work, and light commercial service it holds up fine. For heavy-traffic institutional work (schools, hospitals, public restrooms) where tenants or maintenance crews are in and out of the cabinet, a 17 gauge tubular trap is the heavier-wall choice.
4) Does the Oatey 1046A-1 come with the slip nuts and washers to make up the joints?
The 1046A-1 is sold as the offset trap assembly itself. A tubular trap of this type makes up with slip nuts and washers at the tailpiece and at the waste arm, so before you leave the counter confirm you have the nuts, washers, and a trap adapter or escutcheon if the wall opening needs one. Shipping weight on the part is 0.55, so this is a light tubular item, not a cast assembly.
5) What part number do I order to match an existing Oatey offset trap on another unit?
Order by Oatey part number 1046A-1 for the 1-1/2 inch, 20 gauge offset trap. If you are standardizing traps across a building, that number plus the 1-1/2 inch size is what keeps the replacement identical to what is already under the sink.
