Frames and Covers
Cubis Industries is the only supplier of these
Openreach approved products
Only approved frames and covers shall be tted
on your site. They are identiable by the following
markings; ‘EN24 B125’ the British Standards
kitemark the Manufacturer Mark (SID), the year of
manufacture and the BT identier.
The ‘standard frames and covers’ are supplied
by Openreach. They consist of a galvanised steel
fabricated frame, tted with unlled galvanised
steel fabricated cover trays and cross-beams.
All covers can be tted to brick or concrete.
Where there’s evidence or high risk of
vehicles using the soft verge e.g. as an
undertaking area opposite a T-Junction,
a passing point on a narrow road or a
parking area, it will be necessary to install a
‘carriageway chamber, frame and cover’.
There is also an optional
‘recessed frame and cover’
Please note
Recessed frames and covers
These can be purchased by the installer as an
option to the ‘standard frame and cover’.
Each cover tray has two key-hole ttings (in the
centre of the short side) one of which carries a BT
identity mark and the manufacturers’ three letter
identication ‘SID’. The other key-hole tting
displays EN124 and B125 together with the BSI
Kite mark certifying the covers to BS EN124: 1994.
Recessed frames and covers will accommodate
inll blocks to a maximum depth of 60mm.
If you’re planning to install frames and covers
that aren’t supplied by Openreach e.g. for block
paving, or you have any doubts about what frames
and covers to use, please speak to your FBC.
