Polyethylene Moulded Cable Pits

PLASTIC PITS

Polyethylene moulded pits are lightweight,

easy to cut and feature a ribbed
construction for strength and durability.
Recommended for light duty applications,
they are robust, cost-effective and
versatile.

Features

U Polyethylene recyclable plastic

contains no toxic heavy metals – safe
for the environment
U Ideal for use in light duty installations
U Lightweight, easy to handle & cut for
cable entry penetration
FEA designed continuous ribs for the
U UV stable
efficient transfer of loads.
U Range of anti-slip lids and access
covers
U OH&S friendly steel lids not exceeding
25kg
U IP ratings up to IP4X (AS 60529) -
enclosure protection against ingress
U Aesthetic, recessed access covers
allowing for the infill of pavement
material to complement or match the
surrounding pavement
U Steel lids and access covers are hot
dip galvanised to AS 4680
U Access covers are weather resistant

Versatile pit walls contain cutoffs to alter

the depth of the pit.
