Pipelife Jet Stream Inspection Chamber System

Manholes have remained largely unchanged for more than a hundred years since their development as a means of providing a person access to sewer and storm drains for tasks such as maintenance, cleaning and inspection.

Pipelife, the world leader in polymer-based solutions for water and sewer management, has developed a complete technological superior product-line designed to meet your manhole and inspection chamber needs. Historically, the long-term performance of concrete products, especially in corrosive environments, has not lived up to expectations inciting the introduction of polymer-based systems. As a result, PVC sewer pipe has a majority position in the storm drain market. Now, the natural progression is towards polymer-based manholes and inspection chambers.

During the past two decades, Europe has replaced more than 60% of its traditional manholes with polymer systems. More than a decade ago the introduction of polymer wastewater access chambers in Texas began the U.S. transition away from conventional pre-cast or pour-in-place manholes to their technologically superior polymer counterparts.
Pipelife Jet Stream WAC/CSC and Pro24 systems are designed to provide access to sewer and storm drain systems for inspection, cleaning and sampling purposes.

WAC/CSC and Pro24 are intended for use in ground level access without entry into the chamber.

Typical uses included:
  • TV inspection access points
  • Line clean-out access
  • Cul-de-sac access points in long pipe sections
  • Interim access points in long pipe sections
  • Effluent sampling stations
  • Monitoring pits

The Pipelife Jet Stream PRO24 series chamber is a larger chamber and permits the use of older/larger Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) that will not fit in the smaller WAC/CSC systems.
The need for chambers designed to accommodate human access is met using Pipelife's Pro40 series chambers. Pro40 series chambers provide all the benefits associated with polymer-based solutions and include ease of human access typically found in concrete systems.


All our manholes and chambers offer the following benefits:

More economical than conventional manholes.
Substantial cost savings compared to the traditional materials, on transportation and installation costs due to the light weight construction and "plug and go" gasket/socket assembling method.

Installs more quickly and easily.
Procedure identical to the standard PVC sewer pipe installation methods. Systems install directly to ASTM D 3034 SDR 26 and SDR 35 PVC sewer pipe systems. Use standard inlet/outlet diameter reducers. Reduced time in installation, consequently reduced traffic disruption due to installation time. No cutting of chamber base required to fit different size pipe, your base us made specifically to fit your equipment size.

Telescopic design adapts to seasonal functions.
Telescope pipe that fits to cast iron cover follows ground surface during seasonal fluctuations eliminating road surface cracking and deformations, reduces road maintenance costs. Height is easy adjustable during installation or road surface renovation.

Delivers higher strength ratings.
Manufactured of non-corrosive materials. Excellent environmental stress and corrosion resistance. Suitable for installations in chemically aggressive environments.


Installation Instruction:
  1. Dig a hole to accommodate the chamber and worker. The installation should follow the standard practice stated in ASTM D 2321.Trench bedding under the chamber should be a minimum of 6"Connect chamber base inlets/outlet to pipe.
  2. Use standard fittings or bends to adjust angle or change inlet size diameters. Plugs can be used to close additional inlets as required.
  3. In order to cut the proper riser length to reach the ground surface in combination with the telescope pipe, measure the height from the ground level down to the top of the telescope pipe and add 1" allowing the installation into the pipe coming out of the chamber.
  4. Insert the riser pipe into chamber base.
  5. Insert telescope pipe into the riser pipe.
  6. Fill and compact the trench around the chamber with class 1, 2, 3 soil and compact it to a minimum of 95% standard proctor density with the maximum 6" lifts up to the final grade. Pull out the telescope pipe from riser and adjust to the grade height and install cover (if not already in place).
  7. All requirements of OSHA regarding installation safety should be followed.
