Septic Systems: Distribution Box

he distribution box (D-Box) is located in or just before the disposal field.  A D-Box is a small tank that has one inlet and multiple outlets that uniformly disperse the flow of the effluent to several lines of a disposal field.  A D-Box is very useful when inspecting a failing disposal field to determine possible problems within the system.  

In the cold winter months where there is no protective snow cover, freezing can be a problem for the D-Box.  Some methods to help prevent freeze-up would be to either provide a layer of insulation over the D-Box cover, or to connect the effluent line to a bottom inlet.
