Oatey awhp20 Aluminum Water Heater Pan 20 Inch Pvc Adapter

Product Description

The OATEY awhp20 is a 20-inch aluminum water heater pan designed to sit beneath gas or electric water heaters and catch leaks before they cause water damage to floors and surrounding structures. The pan ships with a 1 to 1.5 inch PVC drain adapter that connects the pan to an indirect drain line, allowing collected water to discharge safely away from the installation area. At 1.25 pounds, the pan is lightweight and easy to position during a new installation or a water heater replacement. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this pan as a standard water damage prevention measure in residential and light commercial settings.

The awhp20 is suited for use under standard 20-inch-base water heaters in residential applications including utility rooms, closets, garages, and mechanical rooms. The included PVC drain adapter provides a direct connection to 1-inch or 1.5-inch drain piping, making it compatible with typical indirect drain configurations found in most residential plumbing systems. The aluminum construction resists corrosion from standing water, which is important in pan applications where moisture is an expected condition.

• Aluminum construction resists corrosion from standing water

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-fit replacement or new-installation water heater pan for residential gas and electric water heaters with a 20-inch base diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber during a water heater replacement or new installation. Shut off the water supply and allow the existing water heater to cool before repositioning equipment to place the pan. The drain adapter should be connected to an approved indirect drain line in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Do not use the pan as a structural support surface or allow the drain line to terminate in a location that could create a cross-connection with the potable water system.
