National Highways Cabinet Pedestal Standoff Base

The NH640 Cabinet Standoff Base or Pedestals fit under the NH640 and aid in the passage of cables into the cabinet while preventing moisture ingress and gas build-up from the ground.

Two Pedestal types are available, for Plinth or Grillage and for Chamber.

Pedestals for Plinths are made to fit on Extended 610 Plinth (which needs to be sourced separately). Pedestals for Chambers fit inside underground chambers that are 900 x 600 mm internal dimensions.
