Oatey Company 43565 Pvc Snap in Drain 3 Inches

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 43565 is a 3-inch PVC snap-in drain designed for fast, tool-free installation in floor drain and fixture drain applications. The snap-in design seats securely into compatible drain bodies without adhesives or fasteners, making rough-in and replacement work faster for plumbers working in both new construction and remodel settings. PVC construction resists corrosion and common drain-line chemicals. Each unit is sold individually, with a package quantity of 12 units per case for stocking convenience.

This drain is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 3-inch drain outlet is required. Typical applications include floor drains, shower pan drains, and utility area drains. The snap-in seat design allows for quick drop-in fitting without solvent cement at the drain body interface, reducing installation time on multi-unit or production plumbing jobs. Licensed plumbers handling drain, waste, and vent rough-in work are the primary installers of this component.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and ensure the drain area is dry and clear of debris before seating the drain insert. The snap-in design requires no solvent cement at the body interface; verify the insert is fully seated and secure before restoring service. Do not force the insert into an undersized or incompatible drain body opening.
