Sioux Chief 996-6s Slip Joint Washer 1-1/2 in Red

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF 996-6s is a soft, beveled slip joint washer designed for use in drain line slip joint connections. Sized at 1-1/2 inches nominal, this washer seats securely between slip joint nuts and fittings to create a watertight seal at P-traps, drain extensions, and similar DWV assemblies. The beveled profile allows the washer to compress evenly under the slip nut, reducing the chance of leaks caused by uneven seating. It is a standard consumable part used by plumbers and drain service technicians during fixture drain installations and repairs.

This washer is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving 1-1/2 inch slip joint drain connections. Common installation points include kitchen sink P-traps, lavatory drains, and tubular drain extension assemblies. The red color aids quick identification on the job or at the supply house when sorting washer stock by size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified plumbing technicians. Shut off the water supply and clear standing water from the drain line before disassembling the slip joint connection. Hand-tighten the slip nut first to seat the washer, then snug with channel-lock pliers — over-tightening can distort the soft washer and cause leaks. Follow local plumbing code requirements, which typically reference IPC or UPC standards for drain assembly.
