Qpit Type 8 Catchpit

Qpit Type 8 Catchpit is a prefabricated 600mm catchpit, used for highways applications. It is an easily maintainable and cost effective way of protecting downstream drainage systems by separating out silts and debris. The catchpit is 1.5m high, including a 300mm sump. There are three inlet/outlet option sizes available in 150mm, 225mm and 300mm. The catchpits are supplied with pre-installed water tight end caps on each inlet/outlet.

Applications

Qpit Type 8 Catchpit are designed for use in highways applications and is used in conjunction with Ridgidrain pipework. They minimise the volume of silt and debris conveyed through the drainage system, by encouraging settlement within the sump, reducing maintenance activities. A coupler will be required to join the spigots of the catchpit to the pipeline.
