1. “TYPE A” INSTALLATION TO BE USED IN NON-TRAFFICABLE URBAN AREAS. “TYPE B” INSTALLATION TO BE USED IN RURAL
AREAS.

2. CHAMBER CONSTRUCTED FROM PRECAST GRC OR RC PITS AND RISERS TO SUIT REQUIRED DEPTH. APPROVED MINIMUM SIZE
IS 900x900 (INTERNAL DIMS.) RISERS TO COME WITH "SWIFT LIFT" LIFTING ANCHORS OR SIMILAR.

3. GALVANISED GRATE TO BE PAD-LOCKABLE AND BOLTED IN PLACE USING KEEPER PLATES TO PREVENT UNAUTHORISED ACCESS.
32kg MAX. WEIGHT, CAPABLE OF MAX. MIDSPAN DEFLECTION OF 5mm @UDL = 2.5kPa

F 4. TOP OF COVER TO SIT 25-35mm ABOVE FINISHED GROUND LEVEL. F

DIM "H"
5. CHAMBER MUST BE SELF DRAINING. DRAIN HOLE MUST BE SITUATED BELOW THE AIR VALVE INLET/OUTLET NOZZLE,
TO AVOID AIR VALVE BEING MADE INOPERABLE DUE TO FLOODING. DIM "D2"

6. CHAMBERS TO BE LOCATED A MINIMUM CLEARANCE OF 6.0m AWAY FROM ROADWAYS. SEEK ADVICE FROM ICON WATER
PRINCIPAL ENGINEER IF THIS CLEARANCE IS NOT ACHIEVABLE.

7.IF ISOLATION VALVE HANDLE TIP EXCEEDS MAXIMUM DIMENSION STATED, ISOLATION VALVE WITH GEARBOX SHALL BE
INSTALLED. COVER TO INCLUDE A BANDED HOLE TO ALLOW AN EXTENSION SPINDLE TO MANUALLY OPERATE THE VALVE. IF THIS DIM "D1"
IS NOT PRACTICAL LOCATE THE VALVE SO THAT A “TYPE C” INSTALLATION CAN BE EMPLOYED. (REFER WSS-076 AND WSS-077 (SUPPLY MAIN NOM. DIA)
FOR “TYPE C” DETAILS).

(FOR MAINS DN300 AND LARGER)
8. NOMINAL RISER DIAMETER “D2” SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF HALF THE SUPPLY MAIN DIAMETER “D1” EXCEPT WHERE “D1” SCALE: 1 : 10

EXCEEDS DN750, THEN “D2” SHALL BE DN300.

9. DIM “H” SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF HALF OF THE SUPPLY MAINS NOMINAL DIAMETER.
