Inspired by the below-ground shutter boxes used for utilities throughout Europe, Channell’s “Shutter Box” Series GLB boxes
provide the highest-performance standards in the industry for thermoplastic subsurface enclosures.

One of the major features of the boxes is the straight sidewall “I-Beam” construction that, together with the high rib design, greatly increases the cover load bearing capacity and sidewall strength. Unlike standard thermoplastic tapered boxes, the “Shutter Box” straight sidewall design allows the cover load to be supported by the complete sidewall, rather than an unsupported “tapered neck.” This feature permits the “Shutter Box” Series boxes to be used for a multitude of greenbelt and sidewalk applications. With the additional option of a polymer concrete cover and ring, the boxes exhibit a static vertical load bearing capacity in excess of 25,000 pounds, making them suitable for driveway/alley applications.

A full range of unique options (patents pending) support this product, including a two-position swing-arm bracket, the universal L-Bolt™ locking feature and a Split Cover option with enclosure plug. Three sets of factory-installed threaded studs permit installation of optional hot-dipped galvanized racks and sidewall mounting brackets in the field. A pre-installed attachment plate permits the installation of a swing-arm equip- ment mounting plate, a Bracket Mounted Terminal (BMT®), or a fiber tap mounting plate
as required.

Designed to comply with the applicable elements of Western Underground Committee, ANSI / SCTE 77 2002 and Telcordia GR-902-CORE specifications.
