been there done that asked:
Replacing my 30 gal water heater - which is in a wall space not much wider than the heater. Floor is not great from past water heater leaks, and I do not want to replace it right now - though I MUST prevent further damage. Only drip tray (For under the water heater to catch leaks) I can find is HUGE and won’t fit in the space. Heater is 19 in in diameter. Can anyone help?

Check with a Plumbing Supply house, not a home center. A supply shop carries different sizes. Also try contacting a sheet metal shop, they could make one. That’s what we used to do before they started manufacturing them.

Yes they make smaller drip pans. However, if you need to find it easily you can also use a larger flower pot base. Good luck
