Hargreaves Halifax HD6011 150mm Cast Iron Grey Long Radius Access Bend with Door 88 Degree

The Halifax HD6011 forms part of the Halifax Drain range: a 150mm, 88 degree long radius bend with a bolted access door, used to change the direction of a buried drainage run.

Design

• Why an access bend - BS EN 12056-2 recommends that access is provided where a drainage pipeline changes direction. Rather than fitting a separate access pipe alongside a plain bend, this fitting builds a bolted door into the bend itself, giving a rodding point exactly where it is most likely to be needed.
• Material - A grey iron casting to BS EN 877, protected by a 2-pack epoxy coating of at least 150 microns average thickness.

Tensile grading

Every Halifax Drain pipe and fitting, aside from a handful of brackets and couplings, is cast in grey iron graded by tensile strength in accordance with BS EN 877, giving a considerable margin over the 20 to 40 percent tensile strength typical of equivalent PVC or HDPE pipework.

Installation

• Jointing - Connects to Halifax Drain pipes using the same ductile iron or push fit couplings as the rest of the range.
• Tooling - The bolted access door is undone with a 14mm socket for rodding and inspection.
