: Infiltrator Systems-infiltrative surface,chambers Page 2 of 2 <br /> Can Infiltrator chambers be installed around obstacles? <br /> Yes.7o accommodate existing obstacles in system installation.Infiltrator offers the Contour''" <br /> to a chamber,allowing for a 15-degree turn in the design-Multiple g � <br /> le wed es can be connected together for additional design.The wedge is � <br /> flexibility.A bend or angle can also be made with solid PVC piping to connect groups of chambers.In this case,additionl en <br /> plates with flinch openings cut near the bottom,are needed so the effluent can flow from the first group of chambers,throng' <br /> the angled piping,into the next group of chambers. <br /> Can the inspection port opening be used as an inlet? <br /> Yes,on the top of each chamber there is a knock-out area that is typically used for an inspection port.When inletting into the <br /> inspection port,a splash plate is needed under the inlet.Use caution when backfilling so as not to dislodge the inlet pipe. <br /> What prevents soil from entering the chamber through the sidewall louvers? <br /> Infiltrator chambers have a patented Microl.eachingTM louver design that corresponds to the angle of the sail.This permits <br /> effluent to leach out of the sidewall while preventing soil from entering the chamber. <br /> Should filter fabric be used over Infiltrator chamber sidewall louvers? <br /> Infiltrator MicroLeac#hingTm sidewall louvers are designed to keep soil out;therefore filter fabric is not needed.Contact Infiltrat <br /> Systems Technical Services for additional information at 1-800-748_2754. <br /> Do I need to Compact the trench base when installing in sandy soils or fill/mound systems? <br /> When installing the chambers in sandy soils,mound,or fill systems the sand base should be compacted.This gives the <br /> chambers a solid footing and does not adversely affect the infiltration rate of the sands. <br /> Infiltrator Systems Inc. 800-718-2754 <br /> 6 Business Park Road 860-577-7000 <br /> P.O.Sox 768 Fax:860-577-7001 <br /> Old Saybrook,CT 06475 Email irfo@inCtftratorsystems.com <br /> U.S-A. <br /> i <br /> h <br /> J <br /> i <br /> http://www,infiltratorsystems.coria/sc_designers_infq_faq.htrn 12/14/2003 <br /> S 'd 0SEE '6SG '602 -Jr 'auouayOS 8fua3 0110=20 EO SI oaa <br />
