The document is applicable to the following ancillary fittings: - sealed access fittings; - rodding point covers; - rodding tees; - mechanical saddles. Ancillary fittings according to this document are intended for use in pedestrian areas, except rodding tees and mechanical saddles which can also be used in vehicular trafficked areas. Ancillary fittings can be installed to a maximum depth of 6,0 m from ground level, with the exception of rodding point covers with a maximum depth of 2,0 m. Shallow chambers according to this document are intended for use in private drains located in pedestrian areas above the ground water table, to a maximum depth of 2,0 m from ground level to the invert of the main flow channel. This document covers shallow chambers having a base with a flow channel and their joints to the piping system. Ancillary fittings and shallow chambers can be manufactured by various methods e.g. injection moulding, rotational moulding, spiral winding or fabricated. NOTE 1 Products complying with this document can be used with pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the plastics products standards listed in Annex E, providing their dimensions are compatible. NOTE 2 Products complying with this document can be installed in underground applications without additional static calculation. prEN 13598-1:2025 (E) 6 NOTE 3 Ancillary fittings and shallow chambers can be subject to national regulations and / or local provisions.
