Oatey 38209 Washing Machine Box Pex Ready Rough-in

Product Description

The OATEY 38209 is a PEX-ready washing machine box designed for rough-in applications in residential and commercial construction. It accepts crimped PEX connections for fast, reliable hot and cold supply hookups without soldering. The box mounts directly to wall studs and fits both 2-inch x 4-inch and 2-inch x 6-inch wall framing. Two support brackets are included to secure the unit during rough-in. A snap-on face plate and knockout drain caps simplify the finish phase of installation. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this box during the rough-in stage before drywall is applied.

This washing machine box is suited for new construction and remodel projects in residential and light commercial settings. It is used wherever a dedicated washing machine connection point is required in a framed wall cavity. The direct stud mount design keeps the box flush and stable in standard wood-frame construction. Compatible with 2-inch x 4-inch framing as a primary fit, with the design also accommodating 2-inch x 6-inch wall depths.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber during the rough-in phase before wall finish materials are applied. Shut off the main water supply before making any supply line connections. Follow local plumbing codes, which may reference IPC standards, for proper drain and supply line sizing and support requirements. Do not overtighten PEX crimp rings; use a calibrated crimp tool and verify ring placement before crimping.
