A trench drain component, comprising:

• an elongate trench pan member having a generally upright peripheral wall, a series of ramped lower walls extending generally downward from the peripheral wall and terminating in a pipe receiving fitting, wherein the length-to-width ratio for the elongate trench pan member is greater than 1:1.

A trench drain component for use individually or in series, comprising:

• a trench pan member having a generally upright peripheral wall, a lower pipe receiving opening, and a bottom drain floor formed of ramped drainage walls connecting the peripheral wall to the lower pipe receiving fitting, and the trench pan member further adapted to permit at least two trench pan members to be substantially abutted together, and each separately connected by the lower pipe receiving opening to an underlying drainage pipe, when desired.

A trench component for use in a trench drain system, comprising:

• an elongated pan member having an upstanding peripheral wall, a pipe receiving fitting for connection to commonly-available plastic drain pipe, a generally ramped bottom wall extending from the peripheral wall to the pipe receiving fitting, and wherein the length-to-width ratio for the pan member is greater than 1:1.
