Smitty Pan SMPANBO22BT Water Heater Pan 22 Inches

Product Description

The SMITTY PAN SMPANBO22BT is an aluminum water heater pan designed to catch and redirect water in the event of a tank leak or overflow. Built with a bottom drain configuration, it allows condensate or leaked water to exit through the base of the pan rather than over the rim, keeping the installation area cleaner and reducing flood risk. At 22 inches in diameter, it fits a standard range of residential tank-style water heaters. Plumbers and pipefitters install this pan as part of code-compliant water heater setups in both new construction and replacement jobs.

This pan is suited for residential water heater installations where local plumbing codes require a drain pan beneath the tank. It is commonly placed under electric or gas-fired tank-style water heaters located in conditioned spaces, utility rooms, closets, and attic installations where a drain line is routed to a floor drain or exterior. The bottom drain outlet allows the installer to route a drain line directly downward or at a low angle, which is often more practical in tight installations than a side-outlet pan.

Key Features

• Bottom drain configuration routes water downward for cleaner plumbing line routing
• 22-inch diameter fits a wide range of standard residential water heater tanks
• Aluminum construction resists corrosion in wet, humid service environments
• Low-profile pan design sits flat and stable beneath the water heater base
• Suitable for new construction and retrofit replacement installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drain pan for residential tank-style water heaters with a base diameter that fits within 22 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and power or gas to the water heater before setting or repositioning the unit over the pan. The bottom drain outlet should be connected to an approved drain line that terminates at a safe point of discharge. Verify the pan sits level under the tank to ensure proper drainage toward the outlet.
