Submit New Ideas

If you have a new and innovative product idea, Oatey would like to hear from you. It is Oatey's mission to provide leadership through quality products, operations and superior customer service. New products are at the heart of our mission.

Who We Are

Oatey has been manufacturing quality products for the plumbing industry since 1916. Since that time, we have earned a strong reputation for consistent quality and reliability. Developing innovative products has been the cornerstone of Oatey's success. Our offerings, originally consisting of lead wire solder, roof flashings and repair products, has grown to a comprehensive product line that includes lead free solder, solvent cements, floor drains, access panels and more – distinguishing Oatey as a long-term leader in the industry.

If you believe that your innovative product idea would fit with our offering, we are interested in reviewing it. Oatey will evaluate it for market potential and alignment with our core competencies. If your product does not match our standards, we will try to direct you to an alternate contact within our industry.
