Weld neck
100mm or 150mm ANSI 150 with fully sealed blind drilled and tapped stud holes, machine finish outside diameter and fastening point for bonding strap. The bonding strap runs from the pipe to the pit rim and is stainless steel.
Integral Bellows
The integral moulded bellows provides seamless flexibility to accommodate the riser pipe. The 24" pit retains 45 litres before the liquid level reaches the top of the bellows. The bellows has an extended top, allowing variable installation height and surplus can be trimmed back. Entry point is designed for 100mm ANSI 150 bolt pattern weld neck with thick flange for improved sealing.
Lightweight Lid
The HLA100 is the lightest pit lid on the market today which can still withstand the high forces and weights exerted by aircraft as set out in some specifications. It has an automatic self latching feature with single latch mechanism and an anti-slip top. It fits both the 18" and 24" pit.
An outer lid on the 24" lid can also easily be removed when a larger access area is required for maintenance purposes.
