The FAAC 1161011 Pit Extension V2 is an essential accessory for installations of the J275 HA V2 800 mm retractable bollard where additional pit depth is required. Designed to seamlessly integrate with the original JP275 pit framework, this extension ensures the hydraulic and mechanical components are properly housed, protected, and aligned. The extension enhances stability, durability, and performance—especially in installations where site conditions require deeper foundation or embedding. Built from robust materials to withstand adverse environmental conditions, this pit extension helps maintain optimal operation and extends the lifespan of the bollard system.
Determine need: If installing a J275 HA V2 bollard with 800 mm height, review site requirement-whether the standard pit depth is sufficient. If not, plan to use extension 1161011.
Order items required: Typically, for the J275 HA V2 H800 model you will need both the base pit (JP275/800) and the extension (1161011).
Excavation: Excavate to a depth accommodating the pit + extension; ensure stable, level, compact base; consider drainage.
Install base pit: Place the main pit (JP275/800) in position, ensure alignment, level.
Insert extension: Fit the extension (1161011) onto / into the base pit per FAAC instructions. Make sure seal / joints are properly aligned and secured.
Continue bollard assembly: Once extension + pit are set, insert the bollard cylinder, connect hydraulic / electrical lines, install control components, etc.
Test operation: Confirm bollard raises/lowers correctly, emergency lowering works, seals around extension are watertight, mechanism is stable.
Using the correct pit depth via extension helps prevent undue stress on hydraulic components, ensures the bollard operates safely.
Proper sealing and installation help maintain the ingress protection, avoid water/dirt damage.
Warranty: manufacturer (FAAC) likely warrants materials and workmanship; the supplier listing (for part 116101) shows a 24-month warranty in one source
Always use pit extension when required by height-spec (800 mm) to maintain structural integrity.
Ensure all joints between extension and base pit are clean, aligned, and sealed.
Include drainage or water control features in the pit design to prevent pooling, which could damage hydraulic components.
Inspect extension and pit annually, especially in climates with freeze/thaw or heavy moisture.
Match finishes / materials (if extension and pit surfaces exposed) to avoid corrosion / mismatched aesthetics.
