  5. Can I install a Fibrelite chamber/sump on an existing tank manway ?

    Fibrelite have designed a series of adaptor plates to fit a variety of existing tank manways. They create a watertight seal between the manway and our square or round chambers. Alternatively, the sump can be fibreglassed directly to the tank. Please contact our technical department for further information.

  7. sealkit How can I prevent high ground water entering the chamber/sump ?

    On normal installations, high ground water may enter the chamber via the space between our corbel and skirt. Fibrelite has designed a special sealkit which includes a flexible sealant to seal the gap and a waterbottle which is installed to collect any internal condensation buildup and surface water (which may enter when the cover is removed). The sealkit can only be installed with flat sealed covers. (If you install a raised cover this gap must be left open to allow any surface water to drain into the ground.)
