Do I need to buy anything else to use this base?

What material is the chamber base made of?

Troubleshooting

Side inlet cannot be opened.

Ensure you are pushing the blanking plug from the *inside* of the chamber base.

Riser does not seal properly on the base.

Verify that the integral rubber seal is present and correctly seated in the bottom groove of the riser.

Leak detected at a pipe connection.

Check that the pipe is fully inserted into the inlet and that appropriate sealing methods (e.g., solvent cement or push-fit seals) have been correctly applied according to pipe manufacturer instructions.
