Installationsvejledning
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Oatey Ice Maker Outlet Box. It is recommended to consult local plumbing codes and a qualified professional if you are unsure about any steps.
Step 1: Determine Outlet Box Height
Measure and mark the desired height for the outlet box on the wall stud. A typical height is between 36 to 42 inches from the finished floor to the bottom of the box.

Step 2: Attach Nailing Brackets and Secure Box
Install the provided nailing brackets to the sides of the outlet box. Align the box with the measurement mark on the stud and secure it firmly using appropriate fasteners. The box can be installed right-side up or upside down depending on your plumbing configuration.
Step 3: Solvent Weld Drain Pipe
Prepare the drain pipe and the box hub for solvent welding. Apply PVC primer to both the pipe and the inside of the hub, then apply PVC cement. Insert the drain pipe into the box hub, ensuring a secure and watertight seal. Allow adequate curing time as per the cement manufacturer's instructions.
Video: "How to Install WMOB" - This video demonstrates general installation steps for an Oatey outlet box, including securing the box to studs and solvent welding the drain pipe. While the video shows a washing machine outlet box with two valves, the principles for box mounting and drain connection are similar for this ice maker outlet box.
Step 4: Install P-Trap (if applicable)
If your plumbing setup requires a P-trap, solvent weld it to the drain pipe according to standard plumbing practices. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
Step 5: Connect Water Line to Valve
Connect the cold water supply line (typically PEX or copper) into the 1/4 turn brass valve body within the outlet box. Use appropriate fittings and tools (e.g., crimping tool for PEX) to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. This ice maker box typically uses a single cold water connection.
Step 6: Leak Check
Before installing drywall or finishing the wall, turn on the main water supply and carefully check all connections for leaks. Run water through the drain to ensure proper drainage and no leaks in the drain assembly. Address any leaks immediately before proceeding.
Betjeningsvejledning
Once the outlet box is installed and leak-tested, connect the water supply hose from your refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser to the 1/4 turn valve. Ensure this connection is hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a final snug turn. Connect the refrigerator's drain hose (if applicable) into the drain opening of the outlet box. Turn the 1/4 turn valve to the "on" position to supply water to your appliance. Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks.
Opretholdelse
The Oatey 39148 Ice Maker Outlet Box requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the visible connections for any signs of corrosion or leaks. If you notice any issues, shut off the water supply immediately and address the problem. The 1/4 turn valve is designed for long-lasting, reliable operation.
Fejlfinding
- Ingen vandgennemstrømning: Ensure the 1/4 turn valve is fully open. Check the main water supply to your home.
- Lækager ved tilslutninger: Tighten connections carefully. If leaks persist, disassemble, inspect for damaged threads or seals, and reassemble with new plumbing tape or sealant if necessary.
- Afløbsproblemer: Ensure the drain pipe is clear of obstructions and properly sloped.
