Building Regulations /
Standards
International regulations and local building codes must be
observed for all sanitary and other drainage installations so it is
recommended these are considered as the first step.
As a matter of good practice rodding eyes should be considered
for any location where there is a potential blockage and a manhole
is not suitable.
FC Frost can supply rodding eyes with either single seals or
triple seals as required to prevent foul air from entering a
building.
Weight Bearing And Load
Rating
As an integral part of the floor it is vital rodding eyes and
assemblies withstand all anticipated loads. This catalogue shows
the load rating class for each grating, cover or gully assembly
based on BS EN 1253, as follows :
Loading L15 (Light Industrial)
Areas with light vehicular traffic such as cycle ways and domestic
drives.
Pipework
Frost rodding eye assemblies can be connected to all pipework in
general use.

Floor and Flooring
Floor construction type has a direct influence upon
appropriate rodding eye selection and so should be
established at the outset.
The depth of the structural slab and available space will
influence the selection of the assembly, while selection of an
extension may be necessary to bring the rodding eye to finished
floor level.
Different kinds of floor finishes, such as concrete, epoxy
resin, ceramic tiles or sheet vinyl will influence the type of
grating or cover to be selected.
Materials And
Appearance
Strength, corrosion resistance and appearance are important
considerations when making drainage selections
