Smitty Pan SMPANBO19BT Aluminum Water Heater Pan 19 Inches

Product Description

The SMITTY PAN SMPANBO19BT is an aluminum water heater pan designed to catch and contain leaks or condensate beneath a residential water heater. Measuring 19 inches in diameter, it fits standard tank-style water heaters and features a bottom drain outlet that allows connection to a drain line for managed water discharge. Aluminum construction keeps the pan lightweight while providing resistance to corrosion from standing water. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this pan as part of a code-compliant water heater installation in areas where floor or structural damage from leaks must be prevented.

This pan is suited for residential and light commercial water heater installations where a drip pan is required by local plumbing code. The bottom drain configuration simplifies routing of the drain line when overhead or side-exit drainage is not practical. It is installed under tank-style water heaters during new installations or replacements and is a common requirement in second-floor, attic, and closet installations where water damage risk is elevated.

Key Features

• 19-inch diameter fits standard residential tank-style water heaters
• Bottom drain outlet allows direct downward drain line routing
• Aluminum construction resists corrosion from prolonged water contact
• Lightweight design simplifies handling and placement during installation
• Supports code-compliant water heater installation in moisture-sensitive locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation pan for residential tank-style water heaters requiring a 19-inch catch pan with bottom drain outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for water heater pan and drain requirements. Shut off the water supply and power or gas to the water heater before positioning the pan. The drain outlet should be connected to an approved drain line that terminates at a visible, code-approved location. Do not allow the drain line to trap or create a siphon that could compromise proper drainage.
