380 x 230mm Grade A Surface Box

380 x 230mm Grade A Surface Box

Description

This 380 x 230mm surface box cover range is designed for underground utility access chambers where a larger clear opening is needed for valves, controls or service equipment. It is commonly specified across highways, estate roads, footways and utility infrastructure.

This multi listing combines two proven lid styles with the same clear opening size. The solid top version uses a one-piece lid for straightforward access and secure seating. The double-triangular version uses two lifting sections with a non-rock seating design, often preferred where repeated maintenance access is expected.

Both models are manufactured from spheroidal graphite iron for strength, durability and resistance to repeated traffic loading. Integral lifting key holes are provided for planned access.

Badged versions are available to identify the service below, helping maintenance teams locate the correct chamber quickly. Depending on lid style, options include Air Valve, Surface Valve and blank covers.

This combined listing simplifies selection while keeping one clear product page for the 380 x 230mm size.
