Smitty Pan SMPANSO22ST Aluminum Water Heater Pan 22 in

Product Description

The SMITTY PAN SMPANSO22ST is a 22-inch aluminum water heater pan designed to catch and redirect condensate or leak water away from the installation area. Constructed from aluminum for corrosion resistance and light weight, this pan installs beneath residential or light commercial water heaters to protect floors and subfloor structures from water damage. The side drain outlet allows connection to a standard drain line, giving plumbers and service techs a straightforward path for water evacuation. This is a passive containment component suited for new installations and replacements alike.

The SMPANSO22ST is sized at 22 inches to accommodate a wide range of standard residential water heaters. It is commonly installed beneath tank-style water heaters in utility rooms, closets, garages, and mechanical spaces where floor or subfloor protection is required. The side drain configuration is particularly practical in tight installations where a bottom drain connection would be difficult to route. Plumbers and HVAC technicians handling water heater installation or replacement will find this pan a direct fit for standard code-required drip pan applications.

Key Features

• 22-inch diameter accommodates most standard residential tank water heaters
• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and reduces weight for easy handling
• Side drain outlet simplifies drain line connection in confined spaces
• Designed for floor and subfloor protection beneath water heater installations
• Suitable for both new installations and replacement of existing pans

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation water heater drip pan for standard residential tank water heaters with a base footprint compatible with a 22-inch pan.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician during water heater installation or replacement. Shut off the water supply and power or gas to the water heater before repositioning the unit to place the pan underneath. Connect the side drain outlet to an appropriate drain line per local plumbing code requirements, referencing IPC guidelines for pan drain sizing and termination. Do not block or cap the drain outlet, as unrestricted drainage is required for proper function.
