Jerry, you sure this isn't the requirement for the TPR drain line?
Yep.
"P2801.5.2
Pan drain termination."
Jim,
- P2801.5 Required pan.
Where water heaters or hot water storage tanks are installed in locations where leakage of the tanks or connections will cause damage, the tank or water heater shall be installed in a galvanized steel pan having a minimum thickness of 24 gage (0.016 inch) (0.4 mm) or other pans for such use. Listed pans shall comply with CSA LC3.
Even in the garage, leakage WILL cause "damage".
And, where a pan is installed, required or not, that pan then needs a proper drain.
