Manhole Covers Ductile Iron Class C250

Product Description:

1.Ductile Iron Manhole Cover Description :

A manhole cover is a removable plate forming the lid over the opening of a manhole, to prevent anyone or anything from falling in, and to keep out unauthorized persons and material.Manhole covers are often made out of cast iron, concrete or a combination of the two.A manhole cover sits on metal base, with a smaller inset rim which fits the cover. The base and cover are sometimes called "castings", because they are usually made by a casting process, typically sand-casting techniques.

2.Main Features of the Ductile Iron Manhole Cover: 

1. High load capacity & resilience 

Hardness is same as cast iron, while FRP manhole covers have overwhelming advantages on resilience recovery. They are designed to exceed A15/B125/C250/D400 load capacity, according to EN124: 1994.

2. Designed structure & pressure dispersion

Arc-shaped bottom structure allows the pressure they bear disperse averagely on the whole surface. Besides, the products are made not by SMC, it was put in several layers of fiber cloth to enhance the structures. So they are stronger than SMC composite manhole covers.

3. Consequences of temporarily overloading

Temporarily overloading may cause smash of concrete covers, seriously deformation, even slightly split. But this will not happen to FRP fiber cloth manhole cover.

5.FAQ:

Q. I’ve measured my clear opening size but none of your covers match it, can you offer anything?

A. It’s likely that your cover is quite old and in imperial measurements which are no longer manufactured. However, we can offer bespoke solutions with manhole covers made to the specification you require.

Q. The project I’m working on requires a manhole cover with a quality finish, what’s available?

A. Naturally, galvanised steel of black polypropylene aren’t always ideal, and so we offer brass or stainless steel edging, as well as complete stainless steel covers.

Q. Odours are coming through where I have installed my manhole cover, why?

A. Your cover must be sealed and locked, or neoprene sealed, so you would require a T-Range Cover, or if you require a solid top, a selection of the PC range (e.g. PC2BG3, PC6CG3, not PC2BG) are suitable.

Q. I need access through my manhole cover on a regular basis, is this possible?

A. Yes, the majority of covers have built-in lifting keys, and for those that don’t we also supply lifting keys. However, the best way to obtain easy access is to have a bespoke, hinged manhole cover.
