Fernco Access Point
Provides access for CCTV and drain clearance - a new and unique addition to the Fernco Pipe Doctor Range.
NOW INCLUDES HIGH PERFORMANCE DIAMOND CORE DRILL!
 |
The Fernco Access Point is a brand new and exciting addition
to the Fernco Pipe Doctor range.
- Withstands up to 1 bar
- Can be removed and refitted
- Pre-assembled for direct insertion into the host pipe
Designed for use on DN70, DN100 and DN150 plastic, ductile and cast iron fall
pipes, the Fernco Access Point kit includes 10 Access Points, and a
full set of tools.
These include a 54mm diamond core drill for cutting the hole
to the exact required size, a de-burring tool for smoothing off the
hole, and an allen key to tighten the Access Point once it's in place.
Compared to a piece of broken pipe, a reinforced sticky tape or perhaps
a coupling, the Fernco Access Point is a neat, tidy and professional
alternative.

Q - When would it be used?
A - For entry into a drainage system where no man hole exists or other means of access.

A - From start to finish the installation takes less than a minute; this may increase when cutting into very old cast pipe
Q - Can the Fernco Access Point be removed and re used?

Q - Can the Access Point be installed in both plastic and cast iron pipe?
A - Yes it can - we have recently upgraded to a diamond core drill that is both suitable for plastic and cast iron, including very old cast that various in thickness.
