I designed this interlocking 3D-printed barrier for a 20-inch diameter gas water heater to help detect early water leaks. It’s ideal for basements without a drain pan and is an easy DIY solution.
If you need a larger or different model please don't hesitate to let me know. I have the files in Onshape with variables = easy to change.
Features:
• Interlocking 8-inch sections for easy assembly
• 12mm high and 12mm wide with a tapered outer edge to prevent tripping
• Small flanges for better silicone adhesion
• Printed in yellow PETG for higher visibility and better temperature resistance
• Secured to the floor with clear silicone caulking
• Designed in Onshape and customizable
Why Use This?
• Early leak detection when paired with a simple water sensor.
• Perfect for water heaters without a drain pan.
• Modular design makes it adaptable to other sizes.
Assembly Tips:
• Use clear silicone caulking to secure the barrier and seal joints.
• Test-fit interlocking sections before final assembly.
• Position a water sensor inside the barrier for early detection.
Print Settings:

• Infill: 70-100%
