Easi-Pit eliminates traditional site methods of catch-pit construction
No delays in waiting for concrete base to cure
Eliminates saw cutting of pipe location holes in
concrete chamber ring
No requirement to finish internal surface of the
catch-pit connection points with mortar and
float the base
Safety and Work Practice Benefits - The use of power tools is eliminated and operative time in the
excavation is significantly reduced

Highways Agency Compliant EPDM flexible seal
DN1050 Catch-Pit
Precast concrete catch pits with the new flexible rubber pipe connector seals
can be utilised every 100 metres on a single lane carriageway, replacing the
requirement to cast a base sump in situ and construct the catch pit from a
standard DN1050 manhole ring.
The innovative EPDM 40
flexible rubber seal at the
connection points can
accommodate pipe sizes DN
150 to DN 300, including
DN225. This negates the need
to saw cut openings in the
concrete wall and the use of
wet mortar trades to seal the
pipe surround.

Catch pits are supplied with factory fitted pre-marked EPDM 40 rubber blanks.
The unique rubber blank/seal has pre-formed cutting grooves around the
three DN entry sizes indicated. This allows for accurate cutting out to pipe
diameter requirement. There is no similar system available in the market. Once
pipes are fitted into the seal, up to 45 degrees of pipe deflection is permitted
without breaking the seal.
The significant savings are in time,
eliminating the need for follow-up
finishing gangs. Added safety
benefit are keeping operative time in
the excavation to a minimum and no
power tools are required to cut
concrete. Indirect cost benefits are as
a result of saving up to 26 hours of
time related to curing of wet trades
on a traditional build.
Requirements for catch pits are as specified in the MCHW 500 Series Clauses
and MCHW 3: F Series Drawings.
Can be used in straight through, 90
degree connection or straight through
with a cross drain.
Once pipe is fitted to the connector,
up to 45 degrees of deflection is
possible without breaking the seal.
The MCHW clauses call for the catch pit to be in compliance with BS EN 1917
and BS 5911. FP McCann catch pit products are manufactured under BSI
Kitemark approval to comply with BS EN 1917 and BS 5911 and are
therefore fully compliant to HA specification.
