Rodding Eyes & Sliding Access Covers Overview

Direct Connection floor drainage rodding eyes are specialised fixtures designed to facilitate easy access and maintenance of underground drainage pipes. With their robust construction and user-friendly design, they are suitable for use in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, and play a crucial role in ensuring efficient and effective drainage system management.

For applications where a gully body is not required, Wade offers a comprehensive range of high quality gratings and Rodding Eyes which complement floor finishes.

Direct connection versions look identical to Vari-Level versions when installed, but are machined to enable direct connection to pipework by means of proprietary couplings or ring seal sockets.

Mostly, one version of grating or Rodding Eye is suitable for all pipework of the same size, but tolerances of castings and pipework are such that in some cases different versions of the same style and size of Rodding Eye are required for different pipework – this is made clear by the Spec.

Wade also offers double sealed sliding access covers for entry to an inspection chamber or a service duct within a building. A watertight joint formed between the sheet floor covering and the edge of the frame, prevents water from seeping into the structure.
