Oatey 38945 Washing Machine Outlet Box 1/4 Turn Pex

Product Description

The OATEY 38945 is a Centro II washing machine outlet box designed for PEX supply lines using F1807 crimp connections and 1/4-turn shutoff valves. Built from durable PVC, it provides a recessed in-wall mounting point for hot and cold supply lines and a drain connection at the washing machine installation location. The compact profile fits in standard stud bays with minimal wall depth required. Licensed plumbers install this box during rough-in or remodel work in both residential and light commercial laundry applications. The 1/4-turn valve design allows fast shutoff without multiple rotations.

The 38945 is suited for new construction and remodel installations where PEX F1807 supply lines are run to a washing machine location. The box can be mounted with the valves oriented at the top or bottom, offering flexibility in tight or awkward framing conditions. It is appropriate for residential laundry rooms, multi-family units, and light commercial laundry setups where a clean, code-compliant washing machine connection point is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and depressurize the lines before beginning work. Use proper F1807 crimp tooling and go/no-go gauges to verify crimp ring connections before closing the wall. Confirm local code requirements for box blocking, backer material, and drain outlet sizing before rough-in.
