Does Oatey offer a washing machine pan without the ribs on the inside bottom?
Yes. The #34169 – 28”x30” pan does not have ribs.
Can the existing holes in the pans be plugged by the end user?
No. It is very unlikely that you would be able to create a watertight patch, and this would void any manufactures warranties. If you need a pan without holes for your application, we offer several pans for you to choose from:
22” Plastic Pans #34066 do not have holes stamped into them.
Aluminum Pans are available without holes in all sizes.
What is the thickness of the aluminum water heater pans?
28 gauge or .032”
How deep are the water heater pans?
The standard depth for aluminum and plastic pans is 2-½ in. Oatey also offers 3 in. deep plastic pans for areas where 3 in. depth is required by local code. The 3 in. deep pans are available in sizes 18 in., 20 in., 22 in., 24 in., 26 in., 28 in., and 30 in.
Can different drain materials/sizes be used when connecting the drain to the water heater pans?
We offer 3 different fitting adaptors for our pans:
#34086 - 1” inside & 1½” over PVC Adaptor. This adaptor allows you to solvent weld a piece of 1” PVC or a piece of 1½”PVC pipe into the adaptor.
#34088 – 1” inside & 1½” inside PVC Adaptor. This adaptor allows you to solvent weld a piece of 1” PVC pipe into the adaptor, or solvent weld a 1½” PVC fitting hub onto the adaptor.
#34089 - 1” CPVC adaptor. This adaptor allows you to solvent weld a piece of 1”CPVC into the adaptor hub.
If you need further clarification on these installation options, please contact customer service and they can send you an illustrated copy of application instructions.
Can a plastic water heater pan be installed above a finished ceiling?
You should always check with your local building and fire officials before installing a plastic
pan above a finished ceiling. If the return air to the furnace is not isolated through air tight
duct work or the open ceiling is used for the return air, the plastic pan should never be used. If
the plastic pan is used in these applications and exposed to flames, the toxic smoke can be
drawn back to the furnace and distributed throughout the building.
What is the test pressure for ASTM C924 (concrete pipe)?
3.5 PSI with less than a 1 PSI pressure loss over the time period called out in the tables.
How long does it take to test a joint with no more than 1 PSI drop?
5 seconds
Why is the testing time longer for plastic pipe than concrete pipe with comparable lengths and diameters?
Concrete pipe is porous and the ASTM guidelines give allowances for this porosity.
