Are you installing the underground and remote FDC? My first response for that question is “not my scope!”.
We typically have the site utility sub install remote FDC’s and the underground to it… so I don’t know! I am also pretty sure that the remote ones around here that just pop up out of the ground don’t have serviceable drains – I think they just drain into a gravel layer below the elbow (?). You might check with the site utility contractor for the job (unless someone on the forum knows). Hope that helps… might not even be worth 2 cents though!

We need to have access to it to service it.
