Lockable Polymer Inspection Pit for Earth Rod Terminations
The PT205 Earth Pit gives protected, lockable access to earthing and lightning protection connections for inspection, testing and maintenance. Furse moulds it from a UV-stable, chemically resistant polymer, so at 1.8kg it is light enough for one person to carry and set, yet it carries a 5,000kg safe working load.

Key Design Features
A 70mm hole in the centre of the base locates the earth rod, so the rod head and its clamp sit where a tester can reach them. The lockable grey cover restricts unauthorised access while protecting the chamber from dirt, debris and environmental exposure. The compact chamber size suits installation where ground space is limited.
Benefits
- Lightweight construction allows easier handling and installation.
- Lockable lid helps prevent tampering and debris ingress.
- 5,000kg safe working load covers general and heavy duty ground.
- Central rod hole keeps the test joint reachable at inspection.
- Compact design supports installation in restricted locations.
- Chemical and UV resistance suits exposed ground such as forecourts and yards.
Applications
Use the PT205 earth inspection pit with earthing and lightning protection systems on commercial buildings, industrial sites, substations and utility networks. It marks the test point and keeps the earth rod, clamp and conductors reachable for routine testing.
