The pan is fitted with a drain trough on the entry side of the pan so that a piece of equipment can easily be maneuvered into the pan. No more dealing with dollies or arm straps or worrying about crushing pan walls when installing heavy machines in your drain pans.

Killarney Metals trench drain pans are built with a fully welded base, three side walls, and an open front entry for easy equipment placement. The integrated trench trough at the open end collects liquid as it escapes and channels it toward the pan’s drain outlet. This design prevents spills while making installation safer and less stressful for both homeowners and professionals.
Each trench drain pan is fitted with a drain connection that can be routed into your building’s plumbing system or directed outdoors. This flexibility ensures that the pan can be used in a variety of residential, commercial, or industrial settings. Always consult your state and local codes to ensure proper compliance when choosing a drainage method.
When plumbing a trench drain pan indoors, a P-trap is often used to block sewer gases. Adding a P-trap primer ensures water stays in the trap for long-term effectiveness. For outdoor drainage, a small amount of mineral oil in the trap can provide a lasting seal that prevents odors, gases, or pests from traveling back into the line.
From washer and dryer protection to refrigerator leak containment and water heater safety, trench drain pans provide a reliable solution to safeguard floors, subfloors, and surrounding surfaces. Backed by Killarney Metals’ reputation in leak pans, drain pans, and containment systems, these trench drain pans are engineered for lasting performance and peace of mind.
