The WAC15 Wastewater Access Chamber by JM Eagle replaces traditional concrete manholes with a safer, corrosion-resistant polyethylene design. Engineered for 6” to 12” sewer pipes, this 15-inch chamber eliminates confined space entry risks while offering superior durability and hydraulic efficiency. Featuring 3/8-inch thick rotationally molded polyethylene construction, a smooth interior (n=0.009), and a watertight lid, it ensures safety and longevity in municipal, industrial, and traffic-area applications.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ OSHA-Compliant Safety
- No human entry required — prevents confined space hazards.
- Compatible with CCTV cameras and high-pressure cleaning equipment for remote maintenance.
✅ Corrosion & Impact Resistance
- Rotationally molded polyethylene resists sewer gases, acidic soils, and chemicals.
- Durable against mechanical wear, shipping damage, and ground movement.
✅ Lightweight & Adaptable Installation
- 50% lighter than concrete — reduces labor and equipment costs.
- Flexible couplings adapt to clay, cast iron, PVC, ductile iron, or concrete pipes.
✅ Traffic-Ready Design
- Suitable for both traffic and non-traffic locations with earth load flexibility.
- Independent 15-inch riser eliminates need for standard rings/covers.
✅ Hydraulic Efficiency
- Smooth interior (n=0.009) with molded inverts reduces blockages and cleaning frequency.
- Light-colored interior enhances inspection visibility.
