FAQs

What is the capacity of this drain pan?

The Draper Drain Pan has a capacity of 16 liters.

What materials is the drain pan made from?

It is made from high-density polyethylene, which is known for its rigidity and chemical resistance.

Is this drain pan suitable for all types of workshop fluids?

It is resistant to most chemicals and solvents commonly found in workshops, making it suitable for automotive oils, coolants, and similar fluids. It is not designed for use with highly corrosive acids or extremely high-temperature liquids.

How do I best prevent spills when pouring fluid out?

Utilize the large spout and ensure the anti-splash lip is positioned correctly. Pour slowly and steadily, taking advantage of the internal baffles to manage fluid flow.

Can I use this pan to store fluids long-term?

While suitable for temporary collection and transfer, it is not recommended for long-term storage of fluids. Empty and clean the pan after each use.

What are the overall dimensions of the drain pan?

The dimensions are approximately 52.00cm x 45.30cm x 15.20cm.

How much does the drain pan weigh?

The drain pan weighs approximately 0.99kg.

Troubleshooting

Pan feels less rigid than expected.

Ensure the pan is at a moderate temperature. Extreme cold can temporarily reduce plastic rigidity. Check for any cracks or damage that might compromise structural integrity.

Fluid is splashing despite baffles.

Pouring speed may be too high. Slow down the pouring process. Ensure the anti-splash lip is properly oriented towards the fluid source during filling.

Difficult to clean stubborn residue.

Use a mild degreaser and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh solvents that could damage the plastic. Thorough rinsing is essential.

Handle feels insecure.

Check that the handle is firmly attached. While designed for carrying, avoid overloading the pan beyond its intended capacity or dragging it when full, which could stress the handle attachment points.
