Oatey 39135 Quarter-turn Copper Ice Maker Outlet Box

Product Description

The OATEY 39135 is a quarter-turn copper ice maker outlet box designed to provide a quick, safe water supply and shut-off connection for refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers. The box features a low-lead brass ball valve that opens and closes with a simple 90-degree handle turn, eliminating the need to make multiple rotations during service calls. Preloaded nails are included for straightforward mounting to wall studs. This outlet box is a standard rough-in component installed by licensed plumbers during new construction or remodel work where behind-wall supply access is required.

This outlet box is suited for residential applications where a refrigerator with an ice maker or water dispenser requires a dedicated, accessible shut-off at the wall. It fits a typical installation scenario where the supply line runs inside the wall cavity and terminates in a recessed box at the appliance location. The quarter-turn valve design supports fast shut-off during appliance service or replacement without requiring access to a remote valve. Right-hand or left-hand installation orientations are supported, providing flexibility for various rough-in conditions.

Key Features

• Quarter-turn ball valve allows full open or full close in a single 90-degree handle rotation
• Supports right-hand or left-hand installation to accommodate different rough-in layouts
• Preloaded nails included for direct mounting to wall studs without separate hardware
• Provides dedicated, recessed water supply and shut-off point for ice makers and water dispensers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation outlet box for residential ice maker and water dispenser supply line rough-ins where a recessed, in-wall copper outlet box with integrated shut-off valve 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 line before soldering or making any connections. The copper body requires standard sweat-solder fittings and technique - do not use open flame near finished framing without proper fire protection. Confirm local code requirements for backing, box depth, and supply line sizing before rough-in.
