Materials and Design
Material
• Curb and tracer box body, flange, and covers shall be injection molded, UV resistant composite.
• Curb and tracer box shall be compression tested to 3,000 pounds and show no signs of damage.
• Tracer wire terminals, thumb nuts, and jumper shall be brass for flawless continuity.

• Curb and tracer box shall have two separate access covers in one integral housing. To eliminate crossthreading, neither cover shall thread into the curb and tracer box.
• One access point shall have a snap-on rectangular cover to provide at-grade access to tracer wire. Cover shall be labeled “TRACER WIRE”. Beneath the tracer wire cover shall be (2) terminal points, (2) thumb nuts and a jumper to ensure correct tracer and ground wire installation.
• One access point shall have a ¼-turn round cover with pentagon plug to provide above-ground access to the curb stop. Cover shall be labeled “WATER”.
• Tracer wire compartment shall be sized to allow for 12-24 inches of excess tracer wire.
• Curb and tracer box shall have an integral flange base which adds overall strength in both directions. It shall allow curb and tracer box to be anchored into the soil while also allowing for simultaneous soil and box movement.
