OATEY 827-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does TBE mean on the Oatey 827-1 tube?
TBE means threaded on both ends. Both ends of the 1-1/2 inch tube carry slip-joint thread, so it can take a nut and washer at each end rather than being plain cut tube threaded at one end only. That makes it usable as a connector between two threaded tubular components instead of just a tailpiece hanging off a strainer.
2) Is 20 gauge heavy enough for a commercial sink drain, or should I use something thicker?
20 gauge is the heavier end of standard tubular drain stock and is what most commercial and multi-family kitchen and lavatory drain assemblies are built from. The thinner 22 gauge tube found in residential big-box kits dents and crushes under a wrench far more easily. For a sink that gets cleaned, snaked, or bumped, the 20 gauge wall on the 827-1 is the one to specify.
3) Can I cut the Oatey 1-1/2 x 12 tube shorter to fit my trap height?
Yes, but cut from the correct end. Because the 827-1 is threaded at both ends, cutting removes one set of threads, so only shorten it on the end that will be captured by a slip-joint nut and washer rather than screwed onto a threaded component. Cut square with a tubing cutter and deburr the inside edge so the washer seats without leaking.
4) Does the Oatey 827-1 come with slip nuts and washers?
It is the tube only. The 827-1 is supplied as a single 1-1/2 inch by 12 inch threaded-both-ends tube, so plan on sourcing the slip nuts and beveled or flat washers for each joint separately if you do not already have them on the existing assembly.
5) How much does the Oatey 827-1 tube weigh?
About 0.53 lb per piece. Light enough that a case of them adds little to a van load, which matters if you are stocking a service truck with a few lengths for drain callouts.
