Collection Pit

Vacuum system installers prefer the Flovac PE pit because of its ease of installation, low cost and that it comes pre-assembled to site. Operators prefer the Flovac PE pit as it restricts any contact with sewage, there are no odours and infiltration is eliminated. 

 

Flovac PE Collection Pit

  • The Flovac PE pit houses both the Flovac valve and sump in a single unit.
  • There are no confined space issues for the operator.
  • There is an easy access hatch allowing operators to see clearly if anything is in the sump, allowing for easy extraction.
  • Lightweight design makes installation easier at 86 kg.
  • Large size sump to give greater emergency storage for the operator
  • Water tight from infiltration
  • The cost of the single PE pit incorporating all pipework and valves is significantly cheaper than any alternative.
  • Sewage can never enter the top section of the pit housing the valve.
  • No gases or odours can emit to the top section of the pit
  • Pits are delivered to site with valves and all pipework fully installed correctly at the factory.
  • Resistant to H2S gases and acid sulphate soil corrosion
