The existing "drain" started above the heater, and terminated at the floor. It was basically just a piece of PVC -- 5 feet or so -- with an elbow at the top and bottom. It drains onto the garage floor. And, that was for a heater with the safety valve on top. This safety valve is on the side, so I ran a line into a pan underneath. Nope.

One thing (at least) I can say for my house is that the 'safety drain' terminates outside of the garage. Now that I think of it, though, if it ever does pop, hot water will be spraying on my front porch... Nice.
