Access Chambers
Hydrant is a range of modular and structural preformed Access Chamber Systems from the STAKKABOX range of access chambers. Developed specifically for the water market, the STAKKAbox™ Hydrant System, manufactured by Cubis, is ideal for housing hydrant valves, air & sluice valves, meters or wash out chambers.
The Hydrant system offers an effective replacement to the more traditional concrete sectional chambers. It is a good, low weight alternative to concrete and brick chambers.
How do access chambers work? The STAKKAbox™ Hydrant Water System is available in two clear opening sizes: 380mm x 230mm and 600mm x 450mm (25mm and 75mm section depths) and can be complemented with the versatile STAKKAbox™ MODULA system to provide other larger sizes for water applications in 150mm depths.
Each chamber section locks with the section above and below it, which provides exceptional sidewall stiffness. The sections are easy for one person to lift but is still capable of supporting a minimum of 40 tonnes vertical loading.

Features & Benefits
quick & easy assembly
Cubis STAKKAbox™ access chambers are much quicker to install than conventional alternatives, with complete installations taking typically less than one hour, resulting in a reduction in labour costs. The access chambers can be adapted easily to suit unique on-site conditions using only standard tools to overbuild over existing networks, introduce duct entries for cable entry and for top-section fine adjustment.
Smooth Outer Walls
The Hydrant features smooth outer walls with an outer lip which keys into the backfill. Any gaps in the outer wall could negatively impact on the effectiveness of compaction around the chamber. Can be supplied with D400 surface box or B125 Concrete Infill access cover.
Sectional Twin Wall Design
Access chambers are built to required depth by adding 25mm or 75mm stackable sections. Due to the twinwall design, individual sections are light meaning that entire chambers can be manually lifted. Each access chamber possesses vertical and horizontal ribs, resulting in a product that is strong vertically and on the sidewall.
robust recycled materials
Specifying STAKKAbox™ Hydrant helps users to reach sustainability targets due to the material being largely composed of high-grade recycled material. Cubis Hydrant is also completely recyclable at the end of its life. The robust recycled material means no breakages and therefore no lost product when in use and in transit.
How The hydrant Access chamber Works
As part of Cubis’ STAKKAbox™ range of preformed access chambers, the Hydrant system is easy for one person to lift and is strong enough to support a minimum of 40 tonnes vertical loading.
Each chamber section locks with the section above and below it, which provides exceptional sidewall stiffness.
The STAKKAbox™ chamber can be installed easily in less than 20 minutes, meaning footways and roads can be re-opened quickly.

Materials
Polypropylene
The STAKKAbox™ Hydrant system is moulded in talc-filled recycled Polypropylene (PP) which possesses excellent strength to weight properties.
Each section is ribbed internally to improve loading performance.
Access Chamber Sizes
STAKKAbox™ Hydrant chambers are formed by combining interconnecting ring sections with either a 25mm or 75mm profile in order to achieve the correct depth.
Hydrant is available in two clear opening sizes and can be fitted with an LDPE base in a number of options.
