Q&A WITH MASTER PLUMBER DOUG BUCHAN
What makes the Oatey MODA box system so innovative?
Oatey designed the MODA box using extensive
knowledge of the countless plumbing problems that
can or will occur on the job site. By determining the
root cause of common outlet box issues — starting
from the point of failure and working back to the
supply box installation — plumbers and industrial
engineers worked together to solve those problems
in a single, multi-purpose supply unit.
How does MODA box make a contractor’s job easier?
Everything about MODA box helps to eliminate
problems and increase productivity for plumbing
contractors.
The wing anges are very sturdy and will easily
snap together in any conguration, giving you
countless installation options. You can install them on
a stud, straddling a stud or as a three-box installation,
and boxes can be mounted side-by-side, upright,
over-and-under, inverted and separate from one
another for a multi-wall installation.
Easy and exible orientation is also an important
feature. With MODA box, you can use a single box
for a washing machine installation with an inverted
valve. No matter which way you turn it, the interior
dimensions are large enough to work in comfortably,
and they can easily accommodate components such
as hammer arresters.

Installation and repositioning of the box are quick
and easy. The box has nail guides, and a V-clip
attaches it to metal studs in commercial applications.
Plus, our two-piece valve replacement takes under
30 seconds and doesn’t require you to cut into the
drywall. And one face plate ts every box.
These benets help contractors cut down on
insurance claims, drywall work and repainting.
What are some features exclusive to the Moda box system?
One unique feature is the drain box, which comes
with a small, emergency drain port to connect a
runoff tube. This allows contractors to identify a water
connection leak and repair it before any more damage
occurs, again helping them minimize insurance claims
and additional labor. The water supply connections
also accommodate all required job sites and come
with a quarter-turn test plug, which you do not need a
tool to use.
The system was designed for easy installation
in a range of applications. For example, the ice
maker valve isn’t a single, hard piece. The valve
easily swivels right and left when minimal pressure
is applied from the supply line as the refrigerator is
being pushed back toward the wall, this helps prevent
kinks and leaks from the supply line. The lavatory box
for sinks and toilets is accompanied by an extra-
large, rigid bracket that assembles in seconds and is
extremely easy to place, saving the contractor time
and frustration.
For washing machine applications, you can use
separate valve and drain boxes, straddling the stud to
prevent supply and drain line crossover. MODA box
also accommodates a water softener backwash valve,
and AAV valves install with a simple quarter turn.
