Performance Data Many installation requirements and options are governed by local codes instituted by the health department in your area.When in question,check with the local health department for specifics and follow their code instructions.Any design or installation questions not answered here can be directed to the Infiltrator Systems'Technical Services staff by calling 1-800-71S-2754- In what types of systems can Infiltrator chambers be installed? Infiltrator chambers can be used in almost any septic leachfield application.Wherever stone and pipe can be installed,Infiltra chambers can be used.This includes trench,bed,and elevated mound installations.Infiltrator chambers provide superior treatment capabilities in pressure dosing,level distribution,serial distribution,evapotranspiration,and sand filter applications. When I install Infiltrator chambers,how much can the size of the leachfieid be reduced? System sizing is determined by each local health departments.Typically,health departments have approved sizing reduction of 25 to 50 percent when Infiltrator chambers are specified.Check your local health codes for the specifics in your area. What is the required distance between trenches?What is time required distance between chambers installed in a bed system? Trench spacing requirements are determined by local health codes so check with your local health department.In beds, Infiltrator Systems recommends a minimum of S inches separation between the feet of the chambers. What is the Sidewinder®sidewall? The Sidewinder sidewall is an improved sidewall design that provides greater system performance.The sidewall features MicroLeachingTM louvers that run along the entire wail of the Infiltrator chamber.This creates up to a 35 percent increase in open area on the sidewall as compared with a flat sidewall construction. What is the difference between the Standard Infiltrator chamber and the Standard SideWrnder chamber? These two chambers have the same dimensions(34'W x 75"L x 12'H),however the SideWrnder chamber features the patented SideWinder sidewall design. What is the difference between the High Capacity Infiltrator chamber,the High Capacity Sidewinder chamber,and tt High Capacity Infiltrator H-20 chamber? All three chambers have the same dimensions(34'W x 75"L x 16'H�The SideWrnder chamber features the Sidewinder sidewall design,while the High Capacity Infiltrator chamber and the High Capacity Infiltrator H-20 chamber do not.The High I Capacity Infiltrator W20 chamber is a physically stronger chamber.typically used in sthrmwater management systems where is installed under parking lots.it's strength results from the use of a dif ierent blend of plastic in manufacturing the chamber. Can chambers be installed under a driveway or paved surface? Some health codes do not allow septic leachfields to be installed under impervious surfaces such as a driveway.This is because the surface pressure can compact the soil,resulting in a negative affect on the soil's ability to treat effluent (wastewater).Check with your local health department for the specific codes for your area.If this type of installation is allawe call Infiltrator Systems'Technical Services staff at 1-800-718-2754 for design and Installation instructions. What is Infiltrator Systems*specificafto for minimum and ma)dmum system cover? Infiltrator Systems recommends a minimum of 12 inches of compacted cover over the chambers_Maximum allowable cover over the chambers in a trench system is 96 inches.In bed systems,the maximum cover is 48 inches.If the drainfleld Is iocatr in a non-traffic area,minimum cover can be reduced to six indles.Exercise caution with equipment when Qrstalfing a system the 6-inch depth.Infiltrator Systems does offer a line of Shallow Cover(SC)Chambers that allow for six inches of cover with H-10iequivalent loading rate,however these are only available in specific markets.Always check with your local health codes �! for specific cover requirements. http://www.infiltratorsystems.com/sc_desigaers_infb_faq.htm 12/14/2003 is i -d OSEE '65G '602 "Jr `auvuayog aYu.u3 dT0 =Z0 60 S1 oaa
