4. Installation
Installing the chamber seals / gaskets
Installing chamber sections
Each chamber section is connected using a gasket (the size
of this gasket will vary depending on if an 800 or 1000 chamber
is being installed and on the specific section being installed).
The recessed area for the gasket (located on the top
of each section as seen in the illustration) should be clean
and free from all debris / sand. Firmly place the gasket into
the recessed area of the chamber using a hand or a rubber
mallet. The upper exposed portion of the gasket should now
be lubricated with a standard gasket lubricant..
Access step installation
Now place the next chamber section on top of the other making
sure that the location for access steps are in line with the
lower portion. The steps should be in a left / right / left / right
pattern to aide in accessing the chamber after installation is
complete. If connected properly the 600mm open access to
the chamber in the cone section should be directly above (in
line with) the access steps. Connect the two chambers sections
with the supplied clipping systems as seen in the illustrations.
Installing the vertically adjustable upper sections
• Firmly insert custom
gasket into
recessed area of
cone section -
using a rubber
mallet if required
• Lubricate interior
exposed portion

Access steps (included with KESSEL 1000 chamber,
available as accessory with KESSEL 800 chamber) may be
installed prior to assembling the individual chamber sections.
Steps are installed as shown in the diagram below.
• Final elevation /
slope adjustments
can be
made with the 3
adjustment screws
which should
be upside down
(screws heads
