Swedish term or phrase: installationsbrunn
Hi, I'm having difficulty verifying the correct EN translation for this. I've found no "installation well" but also see that "brunn" can be translated as "drain" with regard to building components however that doesn't seem to work with an electrical system either. The following are a few examples in this document. Thanks for your help!

Där installationsbrunn finns kvarstår dessa i befintligt utförande och läge om rumsbildning ej förändras.
Ram till installationsbrunn byts.


El/data
Befintlig belysning, nedföringsstav mot vägg.
Alternativt befintliga installationsbrunnar.

Explanation:
"Brunn" is always tricky and I've never found a really satisfactory solution, but maybe this works?

(inspection) chamber


Explanation:
Hello

The exact name depends on what the chamber is used for as you will discover now on Internet.

But whatever the use, normally they can be inspected.

agree  Michael Ellis: I would say "Installation Chamber" here. I prefer chamber over manhole, as the latter tend to be larger as seen in roads. See https://www.nal.ltd.uk/products/chamber-duct-systems/

  -> Thanks. For me a manhole is exactly as it suggests. It can take you down into a chamber but the installation is not in the manhole itself
