The FAAC JC275 Pit Cover is a vital accessory for any installation of FAAC’s J275 bollard series. Engineered to fit precisely over the foundation pit (counter-frame) of the bollard system, this cover provides crucial protection against ingress of dirt, debris, and water while the bollard is in the lowered position. Its robust, corrosion-resistant steel construction ensures durability under harsh environmental conditions. By keeping the pit clean and sealed, the JC275 cover helps maintain the performance and longevity of the bollard’s hydraulic / mechanical components and reduces frequency of maintenance. It is easy to install and designed to integrate with existing J275 series installations.
Identify the J275 bollard pit (foundation box / counter-frame) you need to cover. Ensure that your bollard model is compatible with the JC275 cover.
Clean the top of the pit/counter-frame area: remove dirt, debris, or water so that the surface is flat and dry.
Place the JC275 pit cover over the pit, aligning any features (screw holes, mounting lugs, etc.). Ensure the cover sits flush with surrounding surfaces.
Secure the pit cover as needed using bolts / fasteners if provided or required; verify it’s locked in position (if it has locking features) to prevent dislodging by traffic or impact.
Periodically inspect the cover for signs of damage, corrosion, or loosening. Clean debris on top and around edges.
After heavy rain or flooding, check underside or inside the pit for water ingress; ensure cover seals well.
The cover helps prevent water ingress and debris accumulation, which can damage hydraulic seals, actuator mechanisms, and electrical/hydraulic components.
Using a cover helps maintain IP rating / environmental protection of bollard pit components when lowered.
Material is steel, corrosion-resistant; finish should match or resist the same environmental stresses as the rest of the bollard.
Warranty depends on FAAC and distributor policies; proper installation and use of accessories like covers generally needed to maintain warranty eligibility.
If your bollard installation is in a location with heavy rain, snow, freezing, or flooding, ensure cover edges are sealed tight; consider pairing with pit heater or drainage.
Match cover finish (painted steel or stainless steel) with the rest of bollard hardware to avoid corrosion and for aesthetic consistency.
Keep pit cover orientation according to manufacturer, especially if it includes features for locking or alignment with bollard cover plate.
Have spare covers or spares for fasteners, considering they can be damaged by traffic or vandalism.
