Ips hp2426 Water Heater Pan 24 Inch Plastic with Drain Kit

Product Description

The IPS hp2426 is a plastic water heater pan designed to collect and drain water from leaks or condensation beneath electric water heaters. Measuring 24 inches inner diameter and 26 inches outer diameter, with a 3-inch depth, this pan provides a reliable catch basin to protect floors and surrounding structures from water damage. It ships with a 1-inch by 1-1/2-inch PVC drain fitting already included, allowing for immediate connection to a drain line without sourcing additional fittings. Licensed plumbers and general contractors install this pan as part of code-compliant water heater setups in residential construction and replacement work.

This pan is suited for installation under electric water heaters in residential applications where local codes require secondary water containment. The 24-inch interior diameter accommodates standard residential water heater base sizes. The included PVC drain fitting connects directly to a nearby floor drain or condensate drain line, reducing the risk of water damage to subfloors and finished spaces. Always verify local plumbing code requirements before installation, as pan and drain requirements vary by jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and power to the electric water heater before positioning the pan. The included PVC drain fitting should be connected to an approved drain point per local code requirements. Do not use this pan under gas-fired water heaters without confirming local code approval for plastic containment materials in that application.
