The CamStopper™ is another new innovative product bought to you by McBerns AutoWellWashers™.

The Problem:

Traditional pipe stoppers are difficult to install. The seal refuses to grip, wing nuts not easy to tighten and screw threads seize up. Installation can take many minutes inside a manhole or inspection chamber. Retrieval involves facing a live wall of sewage when the stopper is unscrewed.

The Solution:

A stopper that will seal quickly and effectively in a matter of seconds! The secret of success is in the inventive cam lever and new stabilising heel.
The new CamStopper™ will change the way that stoppers are used, bringing the drain stopper into the 21st century.

Installation:

The CamStopper™ retains the benefits of the traditional design of discs and a rubber seal, but the application of force is now through a lever actuation. This allows the seal to be made quickly, easily and accurately. The seal is also consistent as the lever pressure is applied to a pre-determined load.

Retrieval:

The exceptional simplicity of retrieving the CamStopper™ is such that the operator does not have to enter the manhole or chamber to collect it. Tying a rope around the cam handle allows it to be removed remotely, with no risk of operator contamination or soaking! It is pulled away from the invert and out of the chamber in seconds.

Health & Safety:

This ‘non man-entry’ retrieval technique allows operators to comply with the Confined Spaces Regulations and avoid entry into a “confined space”.

Air & Water Testing:

The new CamStopper™ is designed to allow standard air and water testing and retains the conventional ½” bsp thread to connect testing kits.
