SnakePit® Roadway Access Point
The SnakePit® family of access points provides secure, direct connection to tracer wire systems at ground level in a variety of applications from lite duty off-roadway to heavy duty roadway. These access points feature anti-corrosion gel to protect wires, locking covers that protect against tampering, and encapsulated magnets that allow for detection by ferrous metal detectors. Available in APWA color-coded options for proper utility identification.
The SnakePit® Roadway provides access to a tracer wire system at ground level in heavy traffic, roadway applications. Select from 3 lid options:
Single-terminal Cast Iron Lid: no ground rod wire connection point; must remove lid to access wires; part # RB14*TP
Two-terminal Switchable Lid: provides direct connection point for utility locate transmitter PLUS ground switch that turns tracer wire ground off/on from top of lid; no need to remove lid; part # RB14*2T-SW
Five-terminal Cast Iron Lid: must remove lid to access wires; part # RB14*5T
Made in the USA. BABA compliant.
