Description
The
315mm manhole chamber riser is a genuine
Pipelife 1196900475 component designed for the Pipelife Universal Access Junction and level invert inspection chamber system. This
169mm chamber riser provides additional chamber height where required and is manufactured as a
stackable inspection chamber riser for flexible installation. Used as a
level invert chamber extension, the riser has a manufacturer-confirmed diameter of 315mm and height of 169mm. Pipelife also incorporates a cutting indicator into the riser so the chamber height can be adjusted to suit the required finished installation.
315mm Manhole Chamber Riser
The
315mm manhole chamber riser is fitted above a compatible Pipelife access junction base to increase the height of the inspection chamber towards finished ground level. Inspection chamber risers allow the underground chamber to remain accessible after the surrounding ground or paving has been completed. The required number of risers depends on the installation depth and finished level of the chamber. Pipelife identifies this component specifically as the riser for its 315mm Universal Access Junction system.
Pipelife 1196900475 Riser
Pipelife 1196900475 is the genuine manufacturer product reference for this chamber riser. Using the exact manufacturer code helps distinguish the riser from the matching Pipelife chamber base and cover components within the same level invert system. The manufacturer lists the riser as 315mm diameter and 169mm high. Pipelife’s product catalogue also identifies the component as polypropylene and red-brown in colour. The exact
Pipelife 1196900475 reference should therefore be used as both the manufacturer part number and product identifier for this listing.
169mm Chamber Riser
The
169mm chamber riser provides a useful increase in inspection chamber height without requiring a different chamber base. Pipelife’s UK trade literature specifies the riser height as 169mm. Although this product has sometimes been described as a 170mm riser, the manufacturer-confirmed dimension is
169mm, which is the figure that should be used in the technical specification. The 315mm diameter and compact
169mm chamber riser height allow compatible sections to be added as required when building the chamber towards the finished surface.
Stackable Inspection Chamber Riser
Pipelife specifically describes this product as a
stackable inspection chamber riser. Multiple compatible risers can therefore be used when additional chamber height is required, subject to the installation requirements of the complete chamber system. The
stackable inspection chamber riser also incorporates a cutting indicator. This provides installers with a clear reference when adjustment of the chamber height is required. The stackable arrangement makes the system more flexible than a fixed-height chamber because the final access level can be adapted around the individual underground drainage installation.
Level Invert Chamber Extension
Used as a
level invert chamber extension, the Pipelife riser forms the vertical section between the chamber base and the final manhole cover and frame. Pipelife’s Universal Access Junction uses a single-level flow system designed to minimise the risk of drainage blockage. Compatible chamber risers allow the access opening to be raised without changing the drainage flow channel within the chamber base. The
level invert chamber extension should be used only with compatible Pipelife chamber components so that the riser, base, seals and final cover arrangement match correctly.
Pipelife Universal Access Junction System
The riser is part of Pipelife’s Universal Access Junction system for underground drainage. The manufacturer describes the system as providing multiple connection possibilities while maintaining a single-level flow arrangement. Within the 315mm system, the main compatible components include:
- Pipelife 1195001684 Universal Access Junction chamber base
- Pipelife 1196900475 315mm chamber riser
- Pipelife 1195001686 square cover and frame
- Compatible blanking plugs for configuring chamber flow paths
The cover and frame, chamber base and other accessories are supplied separately unless specifically stated otherwise.
315mm Diameter Polypropylene Riser
Pipelife’s product catalogue identifies the 1196900475 riser as a polypropylene component with a nominal diameter of 315mm and manufacturer height of 169mm. Polypropylene provides a lightweight chamber component that can be handled and positioned more easily than traditional heavy chamber construction materials. The manufacturer identifies the riser colour as red-brown, helping distinguish it visually from the black cover and frame used at the top of the compatible chamber assembly.
Manufactured for Underground Drainage Access
The
315mm manhole chamber riser forms part of an inspection chamber system intended to retain accessible points within underground drainage runs. These access points allow drainage systems to be inspected or rodded when required. Pipelife states that its Universal Access Junction system has been manufactured and tested to meet the performance requirements of EN 13598 for ancillary fittings used in non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage applications. This wording is preferable to claiming a separate standard certification for the riser alone because Pipelife describes the testing in relation to the complete Access Junction system.
Choosing the Correct Pipelife Chamber Riser
Before ordering a
315mm manhole chamber riser, check that the existing or proposed chamber is part of the compatible Pipelife 315mm Universal Access Junction system. The
169mm chamber riser should not automatically be assumed interchangeable with nominally similar 300mm, 315mm or 320mm inspection chamber components from other manufacturers. Using the genuine
Pipelife 1196900475 reference provides the clearest way to confirm the correct component when extending an existing compatible Pipelife chamber.
