Diversitech 6M30 Aluminum Water Heater Pan 30 Inch

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH 6M30 is a 30-inch aluminum water heater pan designed to capture condensate and contain leaks beneath residential water heaters. Constructed from aluminum, the pan resists corrosion and stands up to prolonged moisture exposure, making it a durable choice for installations in basements, utility closets, and mechanical rooms. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this pan as a protective measure to direct incidental water toward a drain outlet, reducing property damage risk from slow leaks or tank sweating. Its straightforward profile is sized to accommodate standard 30-inch water heater bases.

This pan is used in residential water heater installations where local codes or best practices require a drain pan beneath the storage tank. It is appropriate for new installations as well as replacements where an existing pan has corroded or failed. The 30-inch diameter suits common residential tank sizes typically installed in homes, apartments, and light commercial settings. Drain routing should be planned before installation to confirm the pan outlet aligns with the available drain path.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction resists corrosion and handles sustained moisture exposure
• 30-inch diameter fits standard residential water heater tank bases
• Designed to capture condensate and contain minor leaks for leak management

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or new-install water heater drain pan for standard residential storage water heaters with a base footprint compatible with a 30-inch pan diameter. Verify unit footprint and drain outlet location before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and allow the tank to cool before positioning the pan beneath the water heater. Confirm the pan drain outlet aligns with the planned drain line route before setting the tank in place. Local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, may specify pan and drain requirements for water heater installations — consult the applicable jurisdiction before proceeding.
