OATEY 34079 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an 18 inch water heater pan fit a standard 40 or 50 gallon tank?
The Oatey 34079 pan measures 18 inches across the base, so it suits tanks with a footprint under 18 inches. Most residential 40 and 50 gallon tanks run wider than that, so measure the jacket diameter of your heater before ordering. If the tank is close to 18 inches, step up to a larger diameter pan rather than forcing the fit.
2) What size drain line does the pan connect to?
The pan ships with a 1 inch PVC adapter, and the fitting accepts 1 inch to 1.5 inch. You solvent weld PVC drain pipe to it and run the line to an approved termination point. No separate adapter purchase is needed.
3) Can the Oatey 34079 pan be used under a gas water heater, or electric only?
Both. The 34079 aluminum pan is made to install under gas or electric water heaters to catch leaks and condensate before they reach the floor.
4) How deep is the Oatey 34079 water heater pan?
Minimum 2.5 inches deep. That depth plus the side wall height is what gives you room for the drain fitting to sit below the rim, so the pan actually drains instead of holding water.
5) Does this water heater pan meet code for an upstairs or closet installation?
The 34079 meets the requirements of the Southern Building Code. Local jurisdictions vary on pan and drain line requirements for heaters installed above finished space, so match the pan to whatever your inspector enforces for drain size and termination.
6) Is this an aluminum pan or plastic, and which holds up better under a heavy tank?
Aluminum, formed from .032 prime aluminum. Metal pans hold shape under a full tank and will not soften from heat radiating off a gas heater draft hood the way thin plastic can. The tradeoff is that a plastic pan is lighter to handle; at roughly 1 lb, this one is easy enough to carry into a closet single handed.
7) What do I need besides the pan to finish a water heater replacement?
The pan comes with its 1 inch PVC adapter already accounted for, so the parts to add are PVC drain pipe and solvent cement to run the line from the adapter to the termination, plus any seismic strapping or stand your install calls for. The pan itself is a drip catch, not a mounting platform.
