The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Water heater life depends upon water quality, water pressure and the environment in which the water heater is installed. Water heaters are sometimes installed in locations where leakage may result in property damage, even with the use of a drain pan piped to a drain. However, unanticipated damage can be reduced or prevented by a leak detector or water shut-off device used in conjunction with a piped drain pan. -

Page 25: Leakage Checkpoints
LEAKAGE CHECKPOINTS A. Water at the draft hood is water vapor which has condensed out of the combustion products. This is caused by a problem in the vent. Contact the gas utility. B. *Condensation may be seen on pipes in humid weather or pipe connections may be leaking. C. *The anode rod fitting may be leaking. D. Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure relief valve may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in your area. E. *The temperature-pressure relief valve may be leaking at the tank fitting. F. Water from a drain valve may be due to the valve being slightly opened. G. * The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting. H. Combustion products contain water vapor which can condense on the cooler surfaces of the tank. Droplets form and drip onto the burner or run on the floor. This is common at the time of start-up after installation and when incoming water is cold. I. Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from condensation, loose connections, or the relief valve. DO NOT replace the water heater until a full inspection of all possible water sources is made and necessary corrective steps taken. -
