Install a marine grade water sensing bilge pump in the pan, and run the bilge pump water exit hose to the same drain out spot the washer goes to. If anything ever starts to leak into the pan the bilge pump will sense the water and turn on and start pumping out any water that may try to fill up the pan.
Thanks for the video. Would have been very helpful if the video showed your method for lifting/lowering unit into the pan. We would in plenty of condos where the stackable units are in a closet. Also, when the PVC fitting was being screwed into the steel pan, the threads were almost certainly being rubbed off by the SS. Slightly larger hole recommended.
Can I use a condensate pump and pipe the water into the laundry drain that the washer discharges to ? I don’t have a floor gravity drain so was thinking this might work ?

Amazing product - I just saw your Open Front Trench Pan - using it for a new LG stack unit going into a second floor bath with a fully remodeled family room below it. Very clever product, not inexpensive but CHEAP INSURANCE against a leak.
For years, anyone who paid $150+ for the goddamn drawers under the washer, that could not use them due to the goddamn drain pan, THIS IS A SOLUTION. We can finally actually utilize our drawer under our washer!!! Much less likely to damage anything when servicing washer, or replacing washer OMG this is awesome

Hey Lucahz, I went to pass along your question to our customer success team and they notified me they are on chat with you currently. Thank you for reaching out
Ah, you win major cool points for having a good eye, Nicholas! I thought no one would catch that. When I saw them installing two pans, I first thought they were putting one under the washer and one under the dryer, so I thought I would have a little fun with it. But it is a little known fact that dryer floods probably cause loses as great as the damage from metal destroying insects.
Geloradanan R'lyeh They are both combined washer and dryers... they do both. There are no metal eating insects... There is corrosion which is rust, but the inside is Stainless Steel
Yes, that was a bit of a joke too. I once read a sci-fi story about some extraterrestrial metal eating insects we accidentally brought back from a mission in outer space. It was scary.
General having a metal pan doesn't make a difference in the level of noise as long as your washing machine is level. However if this is still a concern, we offer anti-vibration pads that stick to the bottom of the pans to reduce noise/vibration levels.
Have a second floor laundry room. Does insurance typically cover flood damage caused by washer? Have a new build home, with no drain. How do you tie this into the draining system. Do you have to cut through walls and tie it into the plumbing?
In instances where a drain pipe is not present where a drain pan is being installed, access will have to be made to the drain piping in the wall or a new drain pipe will need to be installed and connected with the drain fitting in the pan.
Hello. Thank you for posting. The draws should still be able to open but, the best way to make sure is measure the height from the floor up to the bottom of the draw. Drain pans will have a height of 2.5" high and drip pans will be 2" high. Depending on which one you want will determine how much room you have for clearance.
@@Minipainter35 We have several pans that will work with lower drawers according to how low the drawer goes. We have Open Front pans that we call "Leak Pans" which have no front wall + we have lower profile front edge pans that come quipped with or without a drain as needed that we call "Front Load Pans". We also have patented "Trench Drain Pans" which are the ultimate choice for achieving no front wall and protection against minor or major leaks. I will link all open front pans here: www.killarneymetals.com/1100-open-front-pans

Hello Dan, thank you for posting! Normally, when customers purchase two pans, they are matching the dryer pan to create a more uniform look in their laundry room.
+Sandy Magill I'm not sure what you mean by a drop front, however we do that have drip pans that have shorter walls on the front side than they are on the back side, so the side walls slope towards the front. Hope this helps!
+KillarneyMetals , I was told my combined full size washer and dryer (on top) could not be lifted over the 2.5" front wall. The are in a small width area. Some typed of water proof dropping wall would allow the combined unit to slide into the pan.
That makes sense. Currently we do not have anything that would work for what you need, other than making the front wall shorter, however we are currently working on a product that will make things easier for people in your situation. It would involved a three sided pan with an insert piece that would require a sealant or gasket of some sort. Thank you for bring this issue to our attention though, hopefully we will have a solution for you soon! Stay tuned!
Thank you for the reply John! Yes we've been working with alot of clients these days with water connections on their dryers as well for steaming purposes.

Why do they have to be so ugly? And why do the drain pans have to stick out so far in front of the washer? I wish someone would make them more discreet looking. They collect dust and grime over time and are impossible to clean.
Hey Sheena! Over time we've continued to develop our product line to match more home styles and accommodate more beautiful spaces. Check out our Trench Drain Pan here which is a patent-pending innovation that you will only find from Killarney Metals that does away with the drain hole in the side wall of the pan completely.

Victor, thank you for your comment. We DO have dual washer pans available here: www.killarneymetals.com/1051-dual-washer-pans however these are "Made-To-Order" and our goal with this upgrade from plastic to stainless was to show pans that are stocked and available to ship within 24 hours. Let me know if you would additional information on any Killarney Metals product and I would be happy to assist. - Walter
The pans in the video are way too large and stick out so far they could almost trip someone. They look like litter pans for cats. The problem with overflow pans is they prevent the front loader pedestal base drawers from opening and they also make washing machine installation extremely difficult in some situations. Accidentally dropping the machine on a $20 plastic pan is bad enough but dropping it on an expensive stainless pan would really hurt your wallet.
We have a selection of standard size pans that work with a large amount of washers. Our pans aren't one-size-fits-all, so if you go with a standard pan, you may need to work with an extra inch or two. If that is a concern when sizing your washer or space, we also offer custom solutions for whatever size or configuration you may need. You're right about the problem for the washers that have drawers. That is an issue we've been working on, and we're happy to say that we have something in the works right now to counter that. Whether it's a plastic or stainless pan, inserting the washing machine can be difficult, sure. However, our pans have much more staying power and durability than a $20 plastic pan. Our pans may dent or bend some if a large weight is being dropped on them, but they will still hold and do their job. I'm not quite sure how this specifically looks like a litter pan as opposed to any other pan. But hey, if someone wants to use this pan as a glorified cat litter pan, more power to them. We love to hear of the alternative uses of our products.
As long as the machine is level you won't experience "horrible noises". If this is still a concern for you, we offer a line of anti-vibration pads that you can add to the bottom of the pan for added peace of mind.

Thanks for the video. But why do you have a drain pan sitting under the dryer?
They have two washing machines with two dryers stacked on top.
Now thats $
show how you put the washer dryer in the pan without damaging couple of them.
+piyush patel Great suggestion Piyush! We will get working on that soon, stay tuned.
THAT is the very reason I came to this video. How do you get the washer in the pan, especially when the washer is in a corner?
Couldn’t you place a board on the ground that is slightly higher than the front edge of the pan, and then slide the washer across it?
