Description
The
160mm oval alloy rodding point provides a practical maintenance access point within compatible 160mm underground drainage pipework. This
160mm underground rodding point features a
45 degree drainage rodding point configuration with an oval alloy access cover, creating a convenient
oval drainage access point for rodding, cleaning and
160mm drainage inspection access. Designed for larger underground drainage systems, the removable oval cover allows maintenance equipment to be introduced into the pipe run without removing sections of drainage pipework.
160mm Oval Alloy Rodding Point
The
160mm oval alloy rodding point is designed to provide direct access to compatible 160mm underground drainage systems for inspection, cleaning and blockage removal. The oval alloy cover provides a durable access surface while remaining removable when maintenance of the drainage run is required.
Choosing a 160mm Oval Alloy Rodding Point
Choose the
160mm oval alloy rodding point where a larger 160mm drainage installation requires a dedicated maintenance access point. It should be positioned so that the access cover remains reachable after surrounding groundworks, landscaping or other construction work has been completed.
160mm Underground Rodding Point
A
160mm underground rodding point helps provide access to drainage pipework that would otherwise be difficult to reach once buried. The fitting can form part of foul-water or surface-water drainage layouts where future inspection, cleaning or rodding access is required.
Using a 160mm Underground Rodding Point
The
160mm underground rodding point should be installed in a suitable accessible location within the drainage layout. Consider the direction of the pipe run, changes in direction and the route that rodding equipment will need to follow when deciding where the access point should be positioned.
45 Degree Drainage Rodding Point
This fitting incorporates a
45 degree drainage rodding point arrangement, providing angled access into the underground drainage run. The
45 degree drainage rodding point configuration helps maintenance equipment enter the pipework in the direction of the drainage run rather than through a perpendicular opening.
Installing a 45 Degree Drainage Rodding Point
When installing the
45 degree drainage rodding point, orientate the fitting correctly for the intended direction of maintenance access. The adjoining pipework should be properly aligned, bedded and supported so that unnecessary movement or loading is not transferred into the access fitting.
Oval Drainage Access Point
The
oval drainage access point uses a removable alloy cover to provide access to the interior of the drainage system. An
oval drainage access point can be useful where a compact maintenance opening is preferred instead of a larger inspection chamber.
Maintaining an Oval Drainage Access Point
Keep the cover accessible after installation so it can be removed when the drainage system requires inspection, rodding or cleaning. The product is described as a non-sealed rodding point, so it should not be treated as a fully sealed inspection chamber or pressure-tight access fitting.
160mm Drainage Inspection Access
The fitting provides useful
160mm drainage inspection access for larger underground pipe systems. Providing suitable
160mm drainage inspection access can make future maintenance less disruptive by reducing the need to excavate or dismantle sections of drainage pipework.
Planning 160mm Drainage Inspection Access
When planning
160mm drainage inspection access, make sure the fitting will remain reachable and that rodding equipment can be introduced in a useful direction through the drainage run.
Alloy Access Cover
The rodding point incorporates an oval alloy/aluminium access cover designed to provide a hard-wearing removable opening for maintenance. The cover is secured in place but can be removed when access to the drainage system is required.
Non-Sealed Rodding Point
This product is specified as a
non-sealed rodding point. It is intended to provide maintenance access to the drainage run and should not be confused with a sealed access chamber or sealed rodding-point design where a watertight access cover is specifically required.
EN 1401 Underground Drainage
The fitting is specified for use with EN 1401 underground drainage pipework. EN 1401 covers PVC-U piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage applications. Always check compatibility with adjoining drainage pipe and fittings before installation.
Rodding Point vs Inspection Chamber
A rodding point provides a smaller opening intended mainly for introducing cleaning or rodding equipment into the drainage system. An inspection chamber provides substantially greater access to a drainage junction and should be selected where full chamber access is required.
