Camco Mfg 11260 Plastic Water Heater Drain Pan 20 Inch

Product Description

The CAMCO MFG 11260 is a plastic drain pan designed to catch leaks and condensation beneath electric water heaters. Measuring 20 inches inner diameter and 2.63 inches deep, it provides a reliable containment basin in residential and light commercial installations. The pan ships with a PVC drain fitting and includes a pre-cut side opening so the fitting seats without additional drilling. Constructed from durable plastic, it will not rust, corrode, or crack over its service life, making it a long-term solution in mechanical rooms, utility closets, and garage installations.

This drain pan is rated for use under electric water heaters only and is not suitable for gas-fired units. It fits standard residential tank-style electric water heaters where the tank diameter falls within the 20-inch inner diameter of the pan. The pre-cut side opening accommodates the included PVC fitting, which connects to a drain line routed to an approved discharge point per local plumbing code. Plumbers and water heater installers use this pan as a code-required secondary containment measure in locations where a leak could cause property damage.
