Information on Sizing
Access chambers are always referred to by their ‘clear opening’ (internal dimensions).
Access covers are always referred to by their clear opening and sometimes by their frame depth or type.
The access cover clear opening should be greater or equal to the clear opening of the access chamber to ensure it will be supported when installed.
