WATER-TITE

WATER-TITE is a brand of recessed outlet boxes used in residential and commercial plumbing and gas piping systems. The product line centers on supply valve outlet boxes that provide a secure, code-compliant mounting point for shut-off valves and drain connections behind finished walls. These boxes are commonly installed for washing machines, ice makers, and gas appliances, where a clean, recessed termination is required. The brand's catalog includes configurations for PEX, sweat (copper), and F1807 connections, with options for center drain or no drain. Box dimensions vary by application: ice maker boxes typically measure 5.75 in wide by 4.87 in high, while washing machine and gas boxes are available in larger sizes such as 8.25 in wide by 6.13 in high or 8 in by 8 in. All models use 1/2 in inlet and valve connections, matching standard residential supply line sizes. 3G Electric supplies WATER-TITE outlet boxes as part of its industrial equipment distribution portfolio. The line is stocked in multiple SKUs to cover common plumbing and gas configurations. Each product is supported with datasheets and logistics coordination for global delivery. Plant engineers and maintenance managers specify these boxes when they need a recessed enclosure that simplifies valve access and protects connections within wall cavities. The boxes are constructed to accept standard valves and fittings, and they are designed for installation in stud walls at rough-in stage. Because the boxes are available in both PEX and sweat connection styles, they can be integrated into a range of piping systems without adapters. The gas models are intended for shut-off valve enclosure in gas piping, with no drain, and are sized to accommodate typical gas valve bodies. The washing machine and ice maker models include a drain location to manage condensate or discharge, with center drain being the most common. 3G Electric provides these WATER-TITE products to contractors, OEMs, and facility maintenance teams worldwide. The company maintains inventory across the SKU range, allowing buyers to consolidate orders for multiple box types. Technical support includes access to specification sheets and connection details, helping procurement specialists verify compatibility with existing piping. For projects requiring mixed connection types, 3G Electric can supply both PEX and sweat versions from the same brand, reducing the number of suppliers involved. The outlet boxes are non-electrical and do not carry IP ratings; they are mechanical enclosures for plumbing and gas lines. Their build standard focuses on material thickness and valve mounting stability, which are critical for leak-free performance after installation. 3G Electric does not manufacture WATER-TITE products; it distributes them as part of a broader catalog that includes burners, pumps, and gas controls. This allows customers to source outlet boxes alongside other industrial components. The brand's product range is limited to outlet boxes, so 3G Electric's role is to ensure availability, provide accurate product data, and manage shipping to the customer's location. For buyers comparing connection types, the key differentiators are inlet style (PEX vs. sweat), drain presence, and box dimensions. WATER-TITE offers a straightforward selection to match the piping material and appliance requirement. 3G Electric's catalog includes the most recent SKUs, such as MPN 85716 for washing machine PEX, MPN 88106 for gas sweat, and MPN 87978 for ice maker sweat. Each SKU is listed with its specifications to aid selection. The company ships globally and can provide quotes for single or multiple units. No minimum order is implied, but buyers should confirm lead times based on stock. In summary, WATER-TITE outlet boxes are functional, recessed enclosures for supply valves in plumbing and gas systems. 3G Electric distributes the line with a focus on specification clarity and logistics support, serving technical buyers who need reliable components for wall-mounted valve installations.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about WATER-TITE from 3G Electric.

What connection types are available for WATER-TITE outlet boxes?

WATER-TITE outlet boxes are offered with 1/2 in PEX (F1807) or 1/2 in sweat (copper) inlet and valve connections. The PEX models use a crimp or clamp ring system, while sweat models require soldering. Both connection styles are available across washing machine, ice maker, and gas applications. For example, MPN 85716 is a washing machine box with PEX connections, and MPN 85708 is a washing machine box with sweat connections. Gas models such as MPN 88106 and MPN 87862 use sweat connections and have no drain. When selecting, match the connection type to your piping material to avoid adapters.

What are the dimensions of WATER-TITE ice maker outlet boxes?

WATER-TITE ice maker outlet boxes typically measure 5.75 inches wide by 4.87 inches high. This size accommodates a single ice maker supply valve and a center drain. Models include MPN 87978 (sweat, center drain), MPN 87969 (PEX, center drain), MPN 87980 (PEX, no drain), and MPN 87967 (sweat, center drain). The compact footprint allows installation in standard 2x4 stud walls. The box depth is not specified in the provided data, but it is designed to fit within typical wall cavities. Always verify rough-in dimensions against your wall framing before installation.

Do WATER-TITE gas outlet boxes include a drain?

No, WATER-TITE gas supply valve outlet boxes are configured with no drain. This is because gas piping does not require condensate management. Models such as MPN 88106 and MPN 87862 have a no-drain design and measure 8 inches wide by 8 inches high. They feature 1/2 inch sweat inlet and valve connections. The absence of a drain simplifies the enclosure and reduces potential leak points. These boxes are intended for recessed mounting of gas shut-off valves behind appliances or in accessible wall locations. They should be installed in accordance with local gas codes.

What is the difference between WATER-TITE washing machine boxes with center drain and no drain?

WATER-TITE washing machine outlet boxes are available with a center drain or no drain. The center drain version, such as MPN 85716 (PEX) or MPN 85708 (sweat), includes a drain connection to handle washing machine discharge or condensate. The no-drain version is not listed among the top SKUs but may exist for applications where a separate drain is provided. The center drain is located at the bottom center of the box, allowing a drain hose to be connected. Box dimensions for washing machine models vary: MPN 85716 measures 8.25 in wide by 6.13 in high, while MPN 85708 measures 5.75 in wide by 4.88 in high. Choose based on whether you need an integrated drain point.

Can WATER-TITE outlet boxes be used with PEX and copper piping in the same system?

WATER-TITE outlet boxes are designed for either PEX or copper (sweat) connections, not both simultaneously. Each box has a specific inlet and valve connection type. For a system that transitions between PEX and copper, you would need to select the box that matches the valve connection and use appropriate adapters upstream. For example, if your supply line is PEX but you want a sweat valve, you would need a transition fitting. It is generally simpler to match the box to the predominant piping material. 3G Electric stocks both PEX and sweat versions, so you can order the correct type for each installation point.

What support does 3G Electric provide for WATER-TITE outlet boxes?

3G Electric supplies WATER-TITE outlet boxes with access to product datasheets and specification details. The company provides logistics support for global shipping, allowing customers to order multiple SKUs in one shipment. Technical support is limited to product data; 3G Electric does not provide installation services. For buyers needing to verify compatibility, 3G Electric can confirm connection types, dimensions, and drain configurations from the manufacturer's data. Quotes are available for single or bulk orders. As a distributor, 3G Electric does not manufacture or modify the products. Customers should consult local codes for installation requirements.
