Questions & Answers

what is the best way to open up the drain . the housing is very delicate and looks like the hole assembly will crack?
ByJun 18, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

The housing is made of relatively thin plastic, so it's delicate around the pre‑punched drain opening area. Use a sharp utility knife or rotary tool to score and finish separating the pre‑punched section.

      can I install this in an inverted position?
      ByFeb 2, 2025
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      It's not recommended. Most arrestors use a gas or air chamber to absorb pressure and installing them upside down can allow water to fill the chamber over time, reducing their effectiveness.

                    Extremely flimsy, poor quality
                    This has an incredibly flimsy plumbing box. I wish I had sent it back. The punch out for the drain was difficult to open up, it only had a 1/2 knockout. I had to carefully Dremel an opening for my washer hose. it has a moulded a lip around the drain so any leakage from the outlets won't flow into the drain. The tabs to hold it on the studs were subpar. Poor deign overall. The PEX expansion fittings were correct. Another reminder you get what you pay for. Took 8 days to ship as well
