Open Front Pans for Simplified Access and Superior Spill Control
Open front pans are designed to offer both functional containment and convenient access. With a three-sided construction and a fully open front edge, these pans allow equipment to slide in and out without the need for lifting—making installation, removal, and maintenance safer and easier. This design is especially valuable in tight spaces or when dealing with heavy appliances, where mobility and access are key.
Two Proven Designs, One Smart Concept
The open front concept is available in two distinct forms within our product lineup:
Standard Leak Pans: These three-sided pans are perfect for general-purpose spill containment under appliances like washing machines, water heaters, or utility sinks. They act as a first line of defense against leaks and drips, capturing fluid before it can reach your floors or surrounding surfaces. The open front simplifies routine servicing, letting you slide equipment in or out without tilting or straining.
Patented Trench Drain Pans: Building on the same open front structure, our trench drain pans introduce a built-in drainage system to actively channel liquids away. With a sloped trench along the base and an integrated drain spout, these pans guide leaked water directly into your plumbing system—reducing the risk of overflow and water damage. Protected by U.S. Patent #44227-RA, this innovative design is ideal for high-risk leak zones such as under washers, ice makers, and commercial appliances.
Form Meets Function
Open front pans aren’t just about convenience—they’re built to perform. Constructed from durable metals like powder-coated or stainless steel, they’re tough enough for repeated use and harsh environments. The open side also reduces splash risk during installation and servicing, further protecting your surroundings.
Ideal for Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Use
From single-family homes to multi-unit buildings and industrial facilities, open front pans provide a versatile solution for containment and access. Whether you need a simple pan to catch unexpected drips or a fully integrated drainage system, this category offers proven options that meet the needs of real-world applications.
