Load Ratings are Determined by the Lowest Component Rating

Traffic Rated products require steel covers to meet Traffic Rating Standards. Other cover options will meet Heavy Duty Standards.

The Rural Utility Service (RUS) is a department of the US Department of Agriculture organized to facilitate rural developments. You will find Oldcastle Enclosure Solutions brand enclosures conform to the RUS “Tamper Resistant” fastener design for buried pedestals found listed by code and group.

The “Test Load” term is used in ANSI/SCTE 77-2010 to designate the minimum load that an enclosure must be able to sustain to qualify for a particular performance rating. The term is synonymous with (minimum) Failure Load. It should be noted that within the ANSI/SCTE 77-2010 specifications, the “Test Load” is 1.5 x the Design Load. Some specifications and Operating Companies select higher multiple or Safety Factor for Proof of Design Load.
