Description
DRAIN PAN FOR MOUNTED WATER EQUIPMENT
BACKGROUND
Water containing devices are often used within buildings or dwellings.
These buildings may encompass both residential and commercial buildings. These water containing devices can include any type of tankless water heater, wall mounted condensing or non-condensing boilers, steam generators or any other wall mounted equipment or devices that contain or transfer water or liquid that may require leak protection or drainage.
Traditionally there have not been drain pans available or used in conjunction with tankless water heaters or with other wall mounted equipment requiring them. Most plumbing codes require the use of a drain pan for water heaters when they are installed in a structure where a leak from the water heater or its piping could cause damage to the wall or surrounding structure.
Common practice among installers of these water containing products often results in the omitting of a drain pan altogether or use of a floor mounted drain pan designed for different equipment and is not designed for or compatible with the installed water containing product, especially to the extent required to satisfy plumbing and building codes or a code official.
SUMMARY
In at least one embodiment, a drain pan apparatus is disclosed. The drain pan can include a basin with a wall mount connected to the basin. A
drain hole can be formed in a bottom surface of the basin. The drain pan can also include at least one side panel connecting the basin and the wall mount.
In another embodiment, a drain pan apparatus is disclosed. The drainage system can include a wall, drain pan and water containing device. The water containing device can be mounted to the drain pan and both can be mounted to the wall. The water containing device and drain pan may be mounted in such a way that the water containing device is at least partially enclosed by the drain pan.
In another embodiment, a drain pan apparatus is disclosed. The drainage system can include a wall, drain pan and water containing device. The water containing device can be mounted to the wall and the drain pan can be mounted to the wall. The water containing device and drain pan may be mounted in such a way that the water containing device is at least partially enclosed by the drain pan.
