Rodding eye vs inspection chamber
What is the difference between a rodding and an inspection chamber?
Expert Trade Answers
"A rodding chamber is basically a small access point in a drain where you can push rods through to clear a blockage. It’s simple, shallow, and just there for maintenance — you can’t really see much inside it.
An inspection chamber is bigger. It lets you actually look into the drainage system, see the pipe connections, and check what’s going on below ground. It’s still not big enough to climb into (that would be a manhole), but it gives much better access than a rodding chamber."
