Ice Maker Outlet Box

The Water-tite 87980 provides a dedicated connection point for an ice maker supply line. It integrates a hammer arrester to control water hammer and a lead-free brass valve with a 1/2" PEX inlet connection. The transparent plastic box measures 5.75 inches wide, 4.88 inches high and 3.50 inches deep with a larger faceplate for finished walls.

Suits PEX installations needing hammer arrest

This box fits new or remodel jobs where a 1/2" PEX supply serves an ice maker and local code requires water-hammer protection. The NSF 61-G and Federal Law 111-380 compliance covers lead-free requirements. Installers who need a drain fitting or a different inlet type such as copper sweat or CPVC should look at other models.

1/2" PEX valve connection with integrated arrester

The valve connection is a 1/2" PEX inlet paired with a built-in hammer arrester, meeting UPC standards. This single specification determines whether the box matches the supply piping and the code requirement for shock absorption at the appliance.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1/2" PEX valve connection or another size for my ice maker line?

This outlet box includes a 1/2" PEX valve connection and locknut, so choose it when your supply line matches that size.

What does the NSF 61-G and Federal Law 111-380 compliance mean once the box is installed?

It certifies the brass valve meets lead-free drinking-water standards, so the water supplying your ice maker stays compliant.

How does the built-in hammer arrester affect the 1/2" PEX connection in practice?

The arrester absorbs pressure spikes at the valve, reducing pipe hammer on the 1/2" PEX line when the ice maker solenoid closes.
