Smitty Pan SMPANSO24ST Water Heater Pan 24 Inches

Product Description

The SMITTY PAN SMPANSO24ST is a 24-inch aluminum water heater pan designed to catch and redirect condensation, leaks, and overflow from residential water heaters before they cause floor or structural damage. Fabricated from aluminum, the pan resists corrosion in wet mechanical room environments and provides long service life with minimal maintenance. A side drain outlet allows connection to a standard drain line, directing water away from the installation area. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this pan as a standard part of water heater rough-in, and it is frequently required by local plumbing codes.

This pan is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 24-inch water heater base footprint is present. It installs beneath the water heater tank prior to final placement and is compatible with side-drain plumbing rough-ins. The pan is appropriate for use in utility rooms, basements, attics, and anywhere a water heater is installed above a finished floor or in a space where water damage is a concern.

Key Features

• 24-inch diameter fits standard large-capacity residential water heater bases
• Aluminum construction resists corrosion and stands up to continuous moisture exposure
• Side drain outlet accommodates standard drain line connections
• Low-profile design allows pan to slide under most tank-style water heaters
• Lightweight material simplifies handling and positioning during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pan for residential tank-style water heaters with a base footprint requiring a 24-inch pan.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor. Shut off the water supply and allow the existing water heater to cool before positioning the pan. Connect the side drain outlet to an approved drain line per local plumbing code requirements, which may reference IPC or applicable state amendments. Do not place the pan under a water heater without first confirming the drain outlet is properly plumbed to prevent standing water accumulation.
