Ips 86975 Water Heater Pan with Drain Kit 20 Inch Id

Product Description

The IPS 86975 is a plastic water heater pan with an integrated drain kit designed to catch and redirect water from leaking or overflowing residential water heaters. Built from high-strength, corrosion-resistant plastic, the pan features a 20-inch inside diameter (ID) and a 22-inch outside diameter (OD). The shallow profile fits beneath standard tank-style water heaters and connects to a drain line to route any accumulated water away from flooring and structural materials. Licensed plumbers install this pan as a standard code-compliance measure in residential applications.

This pan is suited for installation beneath electric water heaters in residential settings, including utility rooms, garages, and mechanical closets. The 20-inch ID accommodates most standard residential tank-style electric water heaters. The included drain kit allows connection to a nearby floor drain or dedicated condensate line, making it a complete solution for water containment without requiring additional fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC).

Connect the drain fitting to an appropriate drain line or floor drain to ensure proper water discharge. Do not install this pan beneath gas-fired water heaters unless verified compatible by the authority having jurisdiction.
