Materials and Design
Material
• Material
• Cleanout and tracer wire box body, flange, and covers shall be injection molded, UV resistant composite.
• Tracer wire terminals, thumb nuts, and jumper shall be brass for flawless continuity.
• Manufacturer shall supply dielectric, anti-corrosive gel to protect wires.
• Top shall be designed with magnet securely attached to be easily detected by magnetic locators even when access point is covered by soil, sod, and/or paving material.
• Cleanout and tracer wire box shall be 100% made in the USA.
• Cleanout and tracer wire box shall have a one-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects.
Design
• Cleanout and tracer wire box shall be pyriform (rounded teardrop) in shape.
• Cleanout and tracer wire box shall have two separate entry points in one integral housing. One entry point shall allow for connection of tracer and ground wires. The other entry point shall allow for installation over 4” SDR35/26 & SCH40 IPS PVC sewer service cleanout riser.
• Cleanout and tracer wire box shall have two separate access covers in one integral housing. To eliminate cross-threading, neither cover shall thread into the cleanout and tracer wire box.
o One access point shall have a rectangular cover to provide at-grade access to tracer wire. Cover shall be labeled “TRACER WIRE”. Beneath the tracer wire cover shall be (2) brass terminal points, (2) brass thumb nuts and a brass jumper to ensure correct tracer and ground wire installation.
o One access point shall have a ¼-turn round cover with pentagon plug to provide above-ground access to the PVC cleanout riser pipe. Cover shall be labeled “SEWER”, and body shall be gasketed.
• Tracer wire compartment shall be sized to allow for 12-24 inches of excess tracer wire.
• Cleanout and tracer wire box shall have an integral flange base which adds overall strength in both directions. It shall allow cleanout and tracer box to be anchored into the soil while also allowing for simultaneous soil and box movement.
• Cleanout/tracer wire box is NOT intended to bear weight on the PVC cleanout standpipe.
• Not intended for hard surface or roadway application.
Position
• Access point designed so that when installed, the top will be flush with the ground.
