Non-metallic copper buried distribution splice pedestals 

Charles Pedlock line of non-metallic, non-conductive pedestals has proven itself in the field for more than 25 years. Pedlock BD Series Pedestals provide the flexibility, durability and reliability to be the all-purpose splice closure for independent telephone companies that require an RDUP-accepted pedestal.

The BD Series was designed to provide a variety of feature-rich, non-metallic pedestals with the lowest total cost of ownership. Charles’ engineering team listened to our independent telephone company customers and responded by creating an entire line of pedestals designed for ease of installation and maintenance in addition to providing the highest standard of environmental protection.

Integral Stake Base

• Non-metallic PVC construction won’t rust, corrode, chip or fade. Internal equipment is protected from floods, fires, and wind-blown dust and debris
• Expanded-capacity base increases useable area and easily accepts conduit bundles. The base’s design increases pedestal stability and eliminates the need for metallic mounting stakes in most soil conditions 
• Split base design allows for easy and speedy access to cable/wire entrance area. Four 1Ό” circular knockouts and one 4½” x 1½” rectangular drop cable access port knockout below the ground-line provide easy exits for service wires without disturbing gravel or pedestal base fill 
• Two splice bracket options (Universal U-Backboard and Splice S-Bracket) provide users with a choice in splicing arrangements.
