Atplas Below Ground Boundary Boxes

Below Ground
Boundary Boxes
Benefits
The flexibility of the Atplas range
of boundary boxes provides a
variety of options, from sealed or
un-sealed to screwdown or 1/4
turn control valves

The Atplas range of below ground meter boxes are products
that are buried, usually in pavements and walk ways.
The chamber houses the meter in an easily accessible and
safe environment that house holders or meter readers can
have easy and quick access to for meter reading or service
shut off. Alternatively Atplas Boundary Boxes can be used as
a shut off device with the option to fit a meter at a later date.

Available as a short version for use
in shallow service situations
Standard push fit connections suit
PE pipe and 3/4” female threaded
connections for use with male
threaded fittings means that
almost any type of service pipe
can be catered for
The robust plastic surface box has a
load bearing capacity of over 30 kN
The removable square surface box
flange aids back filling and can be
rotated through 360° to make
final alignment with paving
materials easy. If needed a round
surface box profile can be supplied
to suit other surface materials
Up to 8° tilt and 30mm of final
height adjustment on the surface
box allows for easy and accurate
alignment with surface levels and
gradients
Excellent visibility and access to
both the meter and control valve is
provided by the surface box lid
