Stopvalve Chamber
Systems

The Talbot range of Stopvalve Chambers and Surface Boxes provide a robust housing for an underground stopcock or

accessible. The system is made from carefully selected
plastics which are lightweight for easy handling and installation
and high strength for secure operation and durability.

Benefits

manufacture of the Talbot
Chamber System offer long
product life and secure operation.
The system is quick and easy to
use and install especially when
used in conjunction with Talbot
stopcocks and plugcocks.
Just two sizes of chamber base
will suit all stopvalves from 20mm
(1/2") to 63mm (2").
PVC guard tubes are available in 6"
for standard applications and 4"
