At what storage tank capacity should safe waste pans be installed according to regulations?

Four gallons
Six gallons
Eight gallons
Ten gallons

The correct answer is: Six gallons

The correct answer is that safe waste pans should be installed for storage tank capacities of six gallons. This requirement is rooted in safety regulations designed to manage potential spills and leaks effectively. When a storage tank exceeds this capacity, there is a higher risk for significant leaks that could lead to environmental hazards and property damage. Using a six-gallon safe waste pan provides sufficient containment capacity to manage spills from a tank of this size, ensuring that any leaks can be effectively captured and mitigated before they cause serious issues. Proper regulation in this context is crucial for both safety and compliance with local plumbing standards.
