Call for Availability150x100mm precast chamber unit with a rectangular door, avoiding a brick-built manhole at a twin branch junction below ground.
- Configuration - Rectangular door chamber sized for a twin branch junction.

Installing a full brick or concrete manhole is not always proportionate for a smaller buried junction. The Halifax HD6481 packages a twin branch junction and a rectangular access door into one 150x100mm precast unit that drops straight into the run.
Why a chamber unit
Maintenance access at a junction follows the same general principle as elsewhere in BS EN 12056-2: somewhere to rod and inspect the pipework without digging it up. A precast chamber gets there without the labour of building a manhole from scratch, and this rectangular door version is sized for a twin branch configuration.
Build
- Casting - Manufactured in grey cast iron to BS EN 877, with an average external epoxy coating of at least 150 microns.
- Access door - Bolted rectangular door over the junction, opened for rodding and inspection.
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.
