Materials Information
ACO Access covers and frames are manufactured from either cast iron, galvanised steel
or composite. A choice of materials is available to provide a range of solutions to various
application requirements - such as loading, health and safety, aesthetics, lifting and
chemical resistance.

Choosing the Right Access Cover

Choosing the right access cover for the given application is essential to prevent problems
and product failures in the future. The key factors to consider are listed below and
covered in more detail on pages 7-9.
ACO's Technical Services can also offer additional advice and assistance in choosing the
right access cover.
1 Load Class Choose the right cover and frame to withstand the anticipated type and
frequency of traffic. ACO's covers are certified to AS 3996 loadings. See details
on page 7 for full information.
Access cover sizes are quoted in terms of clear opening.

ACO offers a range of sizes & formats; Single-parts, 2-part, 3-part, Trench runs and
Multi-parts.
Recessed covers allow matching infill.

Decorative brass or stainless steel edging can be added to rectangular & square covers.
Certain covers are bolted as standard, others can have bolts added as an option.
Security Barri bolts are also available.

In fast moving traffic, covers should be positioned with the drawcut facing the

Fire Rated Covers
Certain applications may require tliat

a cover offers a certain degree of fire
resistance.
A fire rated cover is basically a standard

access cover system which has a fire
rated barrier installed beneath it to protect
against flames, smoke, fumes and heat for
up to 2 hours as required in AS 1530
Each system is custom made and ACO
will work closely with you to supply
a suitable fire rated system for the
requirements of each application.
The following information is intended as a
guide to the factors involved in specifying
a fire cover.

Any standard cover can be supplied

Due to the addition of the fire barrier,

Pit rebates
The fire resistant barrier will need
to be supported by either a formed

- these ledges are used to support Safety gates

Factors Affecting
Pit Selection and Installation
Cable Bending Radii

The bending radii of cables being used
in relation to the electrical pit is critical.
Incorrect sizing of the pit relative to
the cable size can lead to damage to
the cable by bending it tighter than the
manufacturer's recommendation.
The table below gives examples of typical
bending radii of common sizes and types
of cable.

divided into different sections. This can
be achieved by putting a dividing wall into
the pit. ACO manufactures a bracket (part

Modular Ducting Systems

for All Applications
The AGO CABLEMATE ducting range is

comprised of 3 types of modular ducting
systems. All systems are easy-handled
one metre units in a variety of different
widths and depths. Covers are available
in Polymer Concrete, mild steel or ductile
iron to suit every application.
Applications
Industrial sites.
Railway stations.
Exhibition centres.
Airports.
Petrol filling stations.
Sports stadiums.
Telecommunications.
Power and air services.
The covers on the CK system can be

easily secured by using the locking bar
and screw which engages in recesses in
34
the ducting wall.
The CS system is supplied with heavy

duty ductile iron covers in 500mm
lengths. Each cover is secured with four
high tensile steel bolts, incorporating
friction grip washers to deter the bolts
from working loose under vibration.
Liglit duty CD type ducting Medium duty CK type ducting Heavy duty CS type ducting

Scenario:

addition of liquid collected through the
grates along the trench run - lateral
intake.
A characteristic of non-uniform flow is that

liquid velocity and height, change at
successive cross sections along the
trench.
To correctly model this situation,

differential calculus is required; usually
computer modelling is used.
As a result of empirical testing, AGO has

developed a computer program, 'Hydro',

All ACO PIPE pipe systems are

manufactured from austenitic stainless

magnetic and is therefore ideal for hygiene
applications. Pipes and fittings are
available in a choice of Grade 304 or 316 Easy push-fit
stainless steel to meet the performance
and cost requirements of each application. Socketed end profiles provide a modular push-fit
system, that offers all the time saving benefits of
Grade 304 stainless steel provides traditional PVC pipe systems

III for applications where superior corrosion
resistance is required, particularly marine
environments and where chlorides are
involved. It contains 17% chromium, 12%
nickel and 2.2% molybdenum.

3. Hydraulics
Compared to cast iron, clay and vitreous
pipe systems, stainless steel pipes have a
considerably smoother bore and in
general, stainless steel pipes are less
susceptible to internal scaling when
compared to most traditional pipe
systems.
The tables on page 17 provide flow rate

information to help select the right pipe
A unique double lip seal on all joints ensures a diameter to provide the required hydraulic
trouble-free, reliable system
performance.
All parts are manufactured using advanced cold

stainless steel is the name given to a
wide range of steels that have greatly
enhanced corrosion resistance over

In the building and construction industry,
stainless steel is selected due to its:

durability and corrosion resistance in
highly aggressive environments
hygienic benefits, easily cleaned
surfaces
aesthetically attractive surface

Hydraulics
The volume of liquid a trough system
needs to collect and remove in a given
time period determines its size. Slab
restrictions may limit the depth of the
trough system leaving its width as the
usual variable for correct sizing.
Typical factors that affect the size of a
trough system:
number of, and discharge rate
(generally measured in litres per
second) of wash down hoses in a
room
volume of spill containment
hydraulic capacity of waste pipe
beneath the floor connecting to the
trough system (for liquid evacuation)
quantity, size(s) and location (along its
length) of trough outlet(s)
desired trough invert fall along the
length of the system
speed of liquid across the floor during
service and/or wash down operations.
In this instance the selection of the
grate must also be considered
for external areas: rainfall intensity,
size of catchment, ground falls etc
ACO offers different sized trough systems
and a broad selection of grates to meet
most hydraulic requirements and offers
technical support to customers to help
ensure correct system specification. See

along the trench at required finished height. Lay a bed of
1 2 good quality concrete in the trench.
2 Knock out the preformed outlet in the base of the channel

or sump unit or fit a spigot stop end.

and ensure it is level. Connect to the drain or soakaway.
' Lay the remaining channels starting at the water outlet

point. Hold each channel horizontally when lowering into
the interlocking joint. Fit end caps.
Position grates and surround channels with concrete

haunching. Paving bricks should be laid in a bed of mortar.
b Ensure the finished paving is 2-3 mm higher than the grates

to assist drainage into the channel.
