Expert Insights from Master Plumber: Streamline Plumbing Installations with the MODA™ Modular Supply Box

< Back to Home

When it comes to plumbing projects, having a reliable and adaptable plumbing supply box can be a game-changer. That’s why we developed the innovative MODA Modular Supply Box System. This outlet box streamlines water supply and drainage connections, meeting the needs of various applications.

The MODA box combines the best features of traditional supply boxes, offering plumbing professionals a convenient, all-in-one solution for washing machines, dishwashers, ice makers, kitchens, and air admittance valves. This single-box system allows residential and commercial plumbers to save valuable time and avoid frustration during supply box installations.

The MODA box system is designed with multiple mounting configurations and fitting options, providing a sleek and compact solution that is quick and easy to install.

Key features of this innovative supply box system include:

  • Modular, flexible design
  • Comprehensive connections, accommodating both hammer and no-hammer specifications
  • Extensive configuration options, such as side-by-side, over-and-under, upright, and inverted, to fit a variety of wall locations
  • Ability to be separated for rear-drain and side-water applications, making it ideal for stackable washer and dryer setups
  • Optional use as a condensation drain

With the Oatey MODA Modular Supply Box System, plumbing contractors can enjoy efficient and hassle-free installations, ensuring their projects run smoothly.

Let's dive into a Q&A session with Master Plumber Doug Buchan to get his expert insights and answers to common questions about Oatey’s MODA Supply Box System.

What makes the Oatey MODA box system so innovative?

Our team of plumbers and industrial engineers collaborated to design the MODA box, drawing from their extensive knowledge of plumbing problems that commonly arise on job sites. By identifying the root causes of these issues, we were able to develop a supply box installation that addresses them head-on.

No matter the application — washing machines, ice makers, lavatories, kitchen sinks, dishwashers, or toilets — MODA Supply Box Systems have the same footprint. This uniformity ensures a consistent look throughout the entire building or home.

How does a MODA box make a contractor’s job easier?

MODA is designed to make life easier for plumbing contractors in every way possible.

  • Versatile Installation: The MODA box features incredibly sturdy wing flanges that snap together in any configuration, providing endless installation options. The plumbing contractor can mount the boxes side-by-side, over-and-under, upright, inverted, or separately for multi-wall installations. The flexibility is unmatched.
  • Easy Orientation: The MODA box allows for simple and flexible orientation. You can use a single box for a washing machine installation with an inverted valve. No matter how you turn it, the interior dimensions are spacious enough for comfortable work, and it can effortlessly accommodate components like hammer arresters. It’s all about convenience.
  • Quick and Easy Installation: Installing and repositioning the MODA box takes minimum effort, thanks to the nail guides and center support that add support to metal studs in commercial applications, ensuring a secure fit. The two-piece valve replacement can be completed in under 30 seconds without cutting into drywall — efficiency at its finest.
  • Saves Time and Money: The MODA box minimizes inventory management since it requires only one faceplate for all box types. Contractors don’t need to worry about stocking different faceplates for different installations.

All these benefits help contractors reduce insurance claims, minimize drywall work, and avoid unnecessary repainting. The MODA box system streamlines the contractor’s workflow, making their job more efficient and hassle-free. To see how easy it is to install the MODA box, check out this video.
