Water-tite 87031 28 Inch Aluminum Water Heater Pan Round 2-1/8 Inch Deep Pre-drilled with Pvc Drain Kit

Product Description

The Water-Tite 87031 is a 28 inch round aluminum water heater pan designed to catch leaks and protect floors from water damage caused by a failing or aging water heater. Built from durable 0.032 mil aluminum, this pan offers long-lasting corrosion resistance in wet environments. It will not rust, making it a reliable choice for both residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Plumbers, mechanical contractors, and maintenance technicians rely on water heater pans like the 87031 to meet code requirements and prevent costly property damage when a tank begins to leak or overflow. The pan is specifically recommended for use with gas water heaters, though it is compatible with a variety of standard tank water heater sizes. The one-piece construction keeps the pan structurally sound with no seams that could fail over time. The 87031 comes pre-drilled and includes a PVC drain kit, saving time on the job. The included drain adapter is designed to fit over 1 inch PVC pipe and inside 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe, giving installers flexibility when connecting to existing drain lines. At 2-1/8 inches deep, the pan holds a meaningful volume of water before it reaches the drain, providing a buffer during slow or minor leaks. For proper installation, a 2 inch clearance around the diameter of the water heater is recommended. This ensures the pan sits correctly and that the heater can be removed or serviced without difficulty. The round shape and 28 inch diameter accommodate most standard residential water heater footprints. The overall width measures 29 inches. Water heater pans are a standard part of any compliant water heater installation in areas where a leak could cause structural or cosmetic damage to a building. This unit meets those needs with a straightforward, professional-grade design.
