The lower pan of the horizontal water heater
jacket or vertical square water heater jacket is
specially constructed to function as a drain pan.
A water discharge opening is located in either end
of the pan. The discharge opening(s) used must
be piped to a suitable floor drain. If only one
discharge opening in the jacket pan is piped to a
floor drain, the unused opening must be plugged.
This jacket pan provides an extra margin of
protection against water damage on vertical
square or horizontally constructed models.

CAUTION:
This water heater, as well as all water
heaters will eventually leak. Installation of
the water heater should be accomplished in
such a manner that if the tank, piping or
any connections should leak, the flow of
water will not cause damage to the
structure. For this reason, it is not
advisable to install the water heater in an
attic or upper floor. When such locations
can not be avoided, a suitable drain pan
must be installed under the water heater.
Drain pans may be fabricated or
purchased from your plumbing wholesaler.
The drain pan must be piped to an
adequate drain. Under no circumstances is
the manufacturer to be held liable for any
water damage in connection with this
water heater.
