Smitty Pan SMPANDR Water Heater Pan Drain

Product Description

The SMITTY PAN SMPANDR is a drain fitting designed for use with water heater drain pans. It provides a dedicated outlet for water to exit the pan in the event of a tank leak or overflow, directing flow away from the installation area and toward a suitable drain point. This type of fitting is a standard component in residential and light commercial water heater installations and is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction or water heater replacement work.

Water heater drain pans are required by many local plumbing codes beneath tank-style water heaters installed in locations where a leak could cause property damage. The SMPANDR drain fitting connects the pan to a drain line, completing the overflow management assembly. It is suited for use in closets, utility rooms, attics, and other interior installations where a water heater sits above a finished or occupied space.

Key Features

• Dedicated drain-only fitting for water heater overflow pans
• Allows connection of a drain line from pan to a suitable discharge point
• Intended for use in code-required water heater pan installations
• Compact fitting profile suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style drain fitting for use with standard residential and light commercial water heater drain pans requiring a drain outlet connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local code requirements. Shut off the water supply and power or gas to the water heater before servicing the pan or associated fittings. The drain line connected to this fitting must terminate at an approved indirect waste receptor or floor drain per local code. Do not allow the drain line to create a trap that could impede gravity drainage from the pan.
