Camco 34154 Aluminum Water Heater Drain Pan 26 Inch

Product Description

The CAMCO 34154 is a pre-cut aluminum water heater drain pan designed to collect condensate and leak water beneath gas or electric water heaters. With a 26-inch inner diameter and a 2.25-inch depth, it accommodates full-size residential water heater tanks and installs directly on the floor beneath the unit. The pan ships with a PVC drain fitting that connects to either 1-inch or 1.5-inch drain pipe, giving the installer flexibility when routing the drain line to a floor drain or standpipe. Aluminum construction keeps the pan lightweight while offering corrosion resistance in wet mechanical room environments.

This drain pan is suited for residential water heater installations in utility rooms, basements, garages, and mechanical closets where a pan is required by local plumbing code. It is compatible with both gas-fired and electric storage-tank water heaters that fall within the 26-inch inner diameter footprint. Plumbers and HVAC-plumbing combo technicians install this pan as part of new water heater setups or as a code-compliance retrofit on existing units.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber typically installs water heater drain pans per local plumbing code and IPC guidelines, which commonly require a pan and drain line wherever a leak could cause property damage. Turn off the water supply and power or gas to the water heater before repositioning or replacing an existing unit into the pan. Route the included PVC drain fitting to an appropriate drain point; do not leave the drain line unconnected. Confirm the floor surface is level before setting the water heater into the pan to ensure proper fit and leak containment.
