Engineered to enhance the reliability of utility locating systems, the Access Point from Copperhead Industries stands out with its dedicated features for protection and accessibility. This direct connection point employs a robust anti-corrosion dielectric gel that effectively shields wires, ensuring longevity and integrity against moisture and environmental factors. Moreover, it is designed with a protective casing that guards against UV rays and damage from equipment such as weed whips, offering peace of mind for outdoor setups. For ease of use, the device includes a two-terminal switchable lid that allows for straightforward connection to utility locate transmitters, complemented by a ground switch to conveniently turn the ground function on and off. A single-terminal lid option is also available for applications where a ground connection is not required. Easy location capabilities are enhanced by an encapsulated magnet, making it detectable with ferrous metal detectors. With secure access features, including a tamper-proof locking cover and tailored designs for specific applications, this access point ensures both usability and security in the field. The APWA color-coded utility marking adds an additional layer of clarity for effective utility identification, making it a vital asset in bonding and grounding tasks.
