Cable Hanger
The cable hanger creates a bracket which cables can be looped around or hung over in a cast concrete cable box. This can be to tidy installed cables or keep cables out of harm’s way during termination. The plugs can be hammered into formed holes (drilled or similar) in the concrete or supported in the formwork during casting. The cable hanger plugs are manufactured from high impact grade virgin polypropylene. The rails are manufactured from aluminium tube. The plugs can also be supplied individually to allow your own reinforcement to be fitted, for example galvanised steel.
Steps
Steps facilitate personnel access and egress from communication chambers by fixing them to the rigid wall of the chamber. The steps are fitted vertically aligned with a spacing of 250mm to 300mm to form a run of steps of the desired height. They can be fitted by casting into concrete at the time of manufacture, fitting with epoxy to drilled holes in concrete or by using the Caswick insert system. Other fixing methods are available, contact Caswick for information.
Steps comply with the requirements outlined in Afnor document NF P98-050-1 when fitted in accordance with the requirements of this standard and are CE marked to EN13101 Steps for Manholes.
Inserts
Inserts are used to create accurately dimensioned holes in concrete. These are supported in the mould whilst the concrete is being poured. The concrete surrounds the insert and anchors it. Once the concrete has hardened the mould is removed which exposes the open end of the insert. This can then be used to fix a Caswick step by hammering them into a pair of horizontally aligned inserts at the appropriate centres or for other applications such as the handling of the unit during manufacture, transportation or installation. A wide range of inserts are available, contact Caswick for further information.
Handhold – SH410
The handhold is designed to aid access to and egress from communication chambers. Once the surface access cover is removed, the handhold can be raised through the opening, locked in position and used to provide stability to the person as they transition from the surface level to the steps in the chamber. Once work is complete the handhold is lowered into the chamber beneath the level of the surface until it is required again. The handhold bolts directly onto Caswick steps and does not require tools to operate once it has been installed. The handhold remains fully within the chamber. The handhold is available in alternative sizes and fixing methods. Contact Caswick for further information.
