Tools: Tools are available to fit the meter plugs, meters and check ComponentsMeters are not supplied as standard with any of the Atplas Boundary Box Telescopic moulded two piece telescopic chamber greatly reduces the risk of groundwater getting into the system through any seals or joints.

5 This means that themeter reader is less likely to encounter a chamber that is full of water. The telescopic chamber combined with a final height adjustment of up to 30mmin thesurface box gives excellent overall height adjustment. Ease of small, stable footprint of the Atplas Boundary Box makes it easy to install in congested trenches and requires minimal excavation. The round surface box hasa removable square flange that makes correct back filling easy. The surface boxflange can also be rotated through 360 and the surface box has up to 8 of tiltmaking alignment with paving materials and gradients simple. Ease of surface box lid provides excellent visibility and access to the meter and control valve. The shut off device can be supplied as either a traditional screwdowntype or as a 1/4turn valve that greatly reduces head loss.

6 The valve has a built instop, making it simple to turn the supply on and off. The system can also be converted to meet the requirements for automatic meter reading installation. 12 bar pressure 12 bar pressure rating of the Atplas Boundary box not only exceeds the 8 - 10 bar normal working pressure, it also matches the typical 12 bar pressure rating of the pipe. The box is designed to cope with almost any eventuality regarding water pressure fluctuations, reducing the risk of failure in the field. Allthe materials used in the Atplas Boundary box that come into contact with waterare WRAS listed. Flexible connection outlets on the double box and multimanifold systems have an eye ball angular adjustment to help installation in congested trench conditions.
