The trench is positioned below the bottom pan member adjacent the open front of the bottom pan member of the drain pan. The trench is configured to capture fluid flowing onto the bottom pan member of the drain pan and before the fluid flows out of the open front. The drain hole is in communication with the trench. The drain hole is configured to evacuate any fluid from the bottom pan member that flows into the trench. The trench cover is configured for providing a flat trench surface over the trench. The trench cover includes perforations to allow fluid to flow into the trench from the bottom pan member of the drain pan.
