Oatey Quadtro WMOB

In addition to the modular design, the Oatey Quadtro WMOM washer outlet box has a tool-free configuration for easy installation. The Quadtro also features a drain and test/drain plug for ease of use. The company’s extensive product line offers various models to fit any application. Oatey also offers fire-rated WMOBs, which are ideal for homes and businesses that must protect against water damage.

The Oatey Centro II Washing Machine Outlet Box offers reduced space and can fit virtually anywhere. It is made of durable PVC and can be installed with valves on either the top or the bottom.

Before you purchase a washer outlet box by IPS Corporation, consider the materials and locations of your pipes. Consider the wall cavity space and pipe material to determine which outlet box is right for your machine. There are models with water hammer arrestors and more. Also, consider the layout of the space before purchasing one. If water is supplied from above, it is best to install the box in an inverted position. You’ll also need to choose a box that allows drainage at the bottom.

Oatey Eliminator

The Oatey Eliminator Drain washing machine outlet box is available in residential and commercial applications. This box features a drain and supply valve recessed into a wall. It can be configured to allow a single connection or to provide two separate drain ports. For commercial installations, the Right Outlet Eliminator box enables the drain to be connected on the right side, while the Left Outlet Eliminator box provides a drain connection on the left.

Oatey The Eliminator Washing Machine Outlet Box is a patented system for water drainage from washing machines. Its design allows for a single connection to the drain hose, water softener, or discharge line and a waste drain port for removing water.

Oatey has earned the trust of plumbing professionals for more than 100 years. Oatey products have been enhancing lives and improving homes, from gas valves to washer outlet boxes. Their manufacturing network supplies thousands of products to customers worldwide. 

Oatey 2 x 4 box

Depending on the layout and structural configuration of your home, it may be necessary to install an Oatey 2 x 4 box washer electrical outlet in reverse. These boxes are designed for installation with water-supply pipes above them. While Oatey 2 x 4 box washer outlet installation does not require special plumbing tools, it can make the task easier. A stud finder is essential for locating the proper pair of studs. A stud finder will tell you where to locate studs 48 inches above the floor. Once you’ve found the studs, you’ll need to measure the area below them. Be sure to leave 12 inches of space between the studs so you can install a drywall outlet after removing the box.

Oatey’s 2 x 4 box washing machine outlet is designed for residential and commercial applications. This box includes two support brackets, one condensate line connector, and a drain plug. It is also equipped with two valves that allow for condensate draining. This box also accommodates one-inch drywall. If you are unsure how to install an Oatey 2 x 4 box washer outlet, you can use an online tutorial to help you with the installation.

The patented twist n lock valves on Oatey supply boxes allow for flexible positioning. Quarter-turn test plugs eliminate knock-out caps, making installation easier and safer. Oatey is a trusted name in plumbing supply boxes. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, they have led the way with innovations. For example, in the Quadtro washing machine outlet box, you can configure the valve positioning system, while the I2K ice maker supply box has direct nail-to-stud placement. Oatey also offers configurable MODA systems that can be used for kitchen, bath, gas, AAV, or laundry water supply.
