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.

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.
