        A:  No. Those screws hold the valve top to the tailpiece. These should not be removed unless replacing the valve top.

          A:  No, This access is for the valve maintenance. They do make units with hammer protection already installed.

          Q:Seriously, 100 degrees F is maximum temperature? Most water heaters put out in the 140 F range!

          Answer This Question

          A:  The hot water valve will handle more than 100 degrees F and the discharge temperature from the washing machine would not be that high. Please reach out to Oatey to further clarify your question.

                Q:Can you adjust water flow
                by|Apr 5, 2017
                5 Answers
                Answer This Question

                A:  Yes, with the small lever you can open it as much as you need.

                by|Dec 25, 2018

                A:  Yes you can by not moving the lever fully open. It will open both hot and cold the same amount.

                by|May 5, 2023

                A:  1/4 turn valve , on or off

                by|Dec 22, 2018

                A:  Yes you can but hot and cold are controlled simultaneously.

                by|Apr 16, 2019

                A:  It is a quarter turn ball valve that is mainly open or close. There can be a little fluctuation in the flow if you partially open.

                  Q:The valve is leaking where the lever stem connects to the valve. I know I can disassemble and replace o-rings but life would be a lot simpler to just swap out the body, if I could find one. The screws for removing the valve are 2 3/4" on center, and of course, other manufacturers valves are not interchangeable. Or, is Oatey forcing me to buy a whole laundry box just for the valve? I can find replacements for every other valve manufacturer out there, which may be something to consider if you're looking at this model.

                  A:  Not easy to fit a replacement valve. See my review of the product. You will be drywalling afterwards...

                    A:  Not sure about the replacement valve, If you have the same box i'm sure the box cost nothing and the valve is the price you're paying for. This model, the center to center on hot and cold are 2 -1/2". From the center of the handle to either the hot or cold valve is 1-1/14"
