Smitty Pan SM31WMS Side Outlet Washing Machine Pan

Product Description

The SMITTY PAN SM31WMS is a side-outlet washing machine drain pan designed to catch overflow and condensate from residential washing machine installations. The side outlet configuration allows the drain connection to exit through the side wall of the pan rather than the floor, making it suitable for installations where floor penetrations are not practical or permitted. Plumbers and installers use this pan as a code-compliance accessory beneath top-load and front-load washing machines to protect floors and subfloors from water damage caused by appliance leaks or overflows.

The SM31WMS is intended for residential laundry room applications. The side outlet design is particularly useful in installations over finished living spaces, second-floor laundry rooms, or anywhere a drain cannot be routed straight down through the floor. The pan sits beneath the washing machine and channels any escaping water to the side-outlet drain connection, where it can be routed to a utility drain or standpipe per local plumbing code requirements.

Key Features

• Side outlet drain configuration for installations without floor drain access
• Designed to catch overflow and leaks from residential washing machines
• Suitable for second-floor and finished-space laundry room installations
• Compatible with standard washing machine standpipe and drain routing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style drain pan for use beneath standard residential washing machines where a side-outlet drain connection is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the applicable IPC requirements for appliance drain pans. Disconnect power to the washing machine before moving or repositioning the appliance during pan installation. Ensure the drain outlet is properly connected to an approved drain or standpipe and that the pan sits level and fully supports the appliance weight.
