Meggitt Pit Boxes

Meggitt Pit Boxes are a critical component in aviation fuel delivery systems, engineered to safeguard the environment and enhance operational reliability.

Key Features

• Environmental Protection
  Designed to prevent fuel spillage from escaping into surrounding soil or water, these pit boxes feature a sealed catchment area that safely contains any leaks—ensuring that visible fuel equals actual spillage, not hidden seepage
• Robust Construction & Structural Integrity
  The dual-shell design—comprised of a welded inner basin and a durable outer steel enclosure—provides exceptional strength and durability. These boxes are built to endure ground movements of up to 25 mm vertically and 50 mm horizontally without compromising valve operation or damaging riser piping.
• Safety-First Seal Design
  A high-level positive seal between the inner and outer sections ensures that all fuel in the pit is contained, while enabling straightforward inspection and seal replacement—without needing special tools or depressurizing the hydrant system.
• Ease of Use & Maintenance
  The lightweight aluminium lid is not only durable enough to withstand heavy aircraft loads, but also easily removable for access. It includes a locking mechanism for secure operation and an optional tether strap to prevent lid loss during use
• Customizable & Compatible
  Meggitt Pit Boxes can be tailored to fit various applications and equipment setups. They are compatible with valves that meet EI and API standards, and come complete with essential features like base flanges and grounding accessories.
