Oatey Company 38528 Washing Machine Outlet Box Pex Crimp

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 38528 is a washing machine outlet box designed for residential laundry rough-in applications. It accepts PEX crimp connections and features quarter-turn ball valves for reliable hot and cold supply shutoff. The patented Quadtro design supports right, left, or center drain placement and accommodates both bottom and top valve mounting configurations. A Lock Load valve mounting system allows quick valve positioning without additional tools. This box is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction or remodel work where a recessed laundry connection point is required.

This outlet box is suited for residential laundry installations where PEX supply lines are used. The versatile mounting configuration makes it adaptable to a range of framing layouts and wall cavity orientations. The single-lever valve mounting hub locks into position in seconds, reducing installation time on the rough-in. An integrated test cap is designed for easy installation and removal without falling into the drain opening, which simplifies pressure testing during inspection.
