Camstopper™



The Problem

Traditional pipe stoppers are difficult to fit.

The seal refuses to grip,
Wing nut is not easy to tighten
Screw threads seize up

Installation can take many minutes inside a manhole or inspection chamber. Retrieval involves facing a live wall of sewage when the stopper is unscrewed.

The Solution

ASP’s design team have considered all the issues facing the operator, and developed a new patented design, creating a stopper that will seal quickly and effectively in a matter of seconds! The secret of success is in the inventive cam lever and new stabilising heel.

The new Camstopper will change the way that stoppers are used, bringing the drain stopper into the 21st century.



Application

The Camstopper retains the benefits of the traditional design of discs and a rubber seal, but the application of force is now through a lever actuation, allowing the seal to be made quickly, easily and accurately - without the risky variance inherent of old.



Removal

The exceptional simplicity of retrieving the Camstopper is such that the operator does not have to enter the manhole or chamber to collect it.

Tying a rope around the cam handle allows it to be removed remotely, with no risk of operator contamination or soaking! It is pulled away from the invert and out of the chamber in seconds.



Health & Safety

For the first time ever, this ‘non man-entry’ retrieval technique allows operators to comply with the Confined Space Regulations 1997 which requires the employer to:-

“Avoid entry into Confined Space if possible by using mechanical means or undertaking the work from outside the confined space”.


Using the new Camstopper both employer and user have the opportunity and responsibility to comply with these published regulations governing access into manholes, inspection chambers and other confined spaces.
