The UG Inspection Chamber Base 470mm x 160mm is designed to provide access to underground drainage systems for inspection, maintenance, and pipe connections. It forms the base component of an inspection chamber system and is used in conjunction with risers, covers, and frames to complete the installation.
Manufactured from durable plastic, the chamber base is suitable for below-ground drainage applications where resistance to moisture, ground conditions, and general wear is required. It is commonly used in both domestic and light commercial drainage systems.
The base features one 160mm inlet, two 110mm side inlets, and two 160mm side inlets, allowing for multiple pipe connections within the chamber. This configuration supports flexible drainage layouts and enables connections from multiple directions depending on site requirements. All inlets are compatible with standard UK drainage pipe systems, ensuring straightforward installation.
With a 470mm chamber diameter, the base provides increased internal space compared to smaller chamber sizes, allowing easier access for inspection and maintenance. This makes it suitable for applications where additional working space is required within the chamber.
The chamber base is designed to be used with compatible inspection chamber risers to achieve the required depth. It can also be fitted with suitable covers and frames depending on load requirements, including pedestrian and light vehicle areas where appropriate.
For installation, the base should be set on a suitable foundation, such as a concrete bed or well-compacted granular base, to ensure stability and correct alignment. Pipe connections should be installed using standard drainage practices to maintain watertight joints and ensure proper system performance.
This inspection chamber base is suitable for use in foul and surface water drainage systems, providing access for routine inspection, clearing blockages, and general maintenance of underground pipework.
The UG Inspection Chamber Base 470mm x 160mm provides a practical and durable solution for forming accessible junctions within underground drainage systems.
