OATEY 34064 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 34064 water heater pan fit a 50 gallon tank?
The 34064 is a 26 inch base diameter pan, so it takes any water heater whose footprint measures under 26 inches across. Most 40 and 50 gallon residential tanks land in the 20 to 24 inch diameter range, which clears it, but measure the jacket diameter of your specific tank before you order rather than going by gallon capacity, since insulation thickness varies between models.
2) What size drain line does the Oatey 34064 pan take?
The pan's fitting accepts a PVC adapter in the 1 inch to 1.5 inch range, so you plumb the drain out in PVC at one of those sizes. Many jurisdictions want the pan drain run full size to an approved point of discharge, so check what your local code calls for before you settle on 1 inch versus 1-1/2 inch.
3) Can I glue PVC pipe directly to the Oatey 34064 pan?
The connection on this pan is PVC, so it mates to standard PVC drain pipe with an adapter sized between 1 inch and 1.5 inch. Use PVC primer and solvent cement at the adapter joint; this is not a threaded or compression connection, and copper or PEX would need a transition fitting to PVC first.
4) Is a plastic water heater pan strong enough to sit a full tank on, or do I need steel?
The 34064 is molded plastic and weighs 1.608 lb, which makes it easy to handle and set under a tank, and plastic will not rust the way a galvanized pan does when it sits in standing water. Plastic pans are the common choice for electric heaters in closets, utility rooms and upper floors. For a gas-fired heater, many inspectors and manufacturers require a metal pan because of the burner flame underneath, so confirm what your installation calls for.
5) We replace water heaters across a portfolio of apartments. Does one pan size cover most units?
A 26 inch pan like the Oatey 34064 is the size that covers the widest range of standard residential tanks, so it is the practical one to standardize on for 30 through 50 gallon replacements. It comes in a single model, 34064, with no finish or size options to track, which keeps reordering simple. Tanks with heavier jackets or heat pump units can exceed 26 inches, so spot check those before stocking deep.
6) Does the Oatey 34064 pan come with the drain adapter and fittings?
What ships is the 26 inch plastic pan itself. Plan on supplying the PVC adapter sized 1 inch to 1.5 inch, the PVC drain pipe, primer and cement to finish the run to your discharge point.
