Access Chambers

Specs and Techs: 200D FTTH Access Point

Description:

Access Chambers are available with RAMAC™ Smart Monitoring Technology options.This specification describes the axs 200D FTTH Access Point. Also known variously as: Draw Box, Boundary Box or Hand-Hole. The unit weight is 2,31kg

Applications:

The main use of the box is for applications where:

  • A small footprint is required on the pavement.
  • New installations.
  • Limited/minimal traffic is expected.
  • Tailor made entries/exits.
  • More economical unit is required.
  • Deeper connection (tailor made chamber).

Material:

This connection box, is made of:

  •  A Lid and Frame, injection-moulded using SABS grade fibre filled Polypropylene (PP) UV Stabilized.
  • An extruded SABS Polyvinyl Chloride shaft (pipe section), cut to customer requirement.

Installation Instructions:

As with all plastic structures, installation and backfilling of these manholes/draw-boxes both form an integral part of the structure. Bad/inadequate installation practice may lead to failure.

1. Bedding

A stone free bedding (underlayer) of minimum 50mm is required. Quarry sand is suggested.

2. Backfilling

Backfilling (reinstatement) to paving level should be competed with stone free (-6mm) material. This should be layered 50 – 75mm
at a time, and tamped to required compaction. Stabilisation of the backfill material with the addition of 5% cement is recommended, ensuring stability of the construction/assembly.

3. Compaction

These are small units, and mechanical tamping is not recommended.
