Product Information

Full details

The Wrekin Steel Block Paviour Access Manhole Cover (600 x 450mm) is designed for contractors and homeowners looking for a heavy-duty, aesthetically pleasing solution for integrating manhole access into block-paved areas. This cover provides superior corrosion resistance through its hot-dip galvanised steel construction and features a reliable double-seal design to prevent odors or debris from escaping. While it offers excellent durability for loading class M environments, the substantial 100mm tray depth requires careful consideration regarding the depth of your existing sub-base and paving layers during installation.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this cover can handle?

Can this be used for a driveway?

Yes, it is specifically designed for residential driveways and areas subject to light vehicle traffic.

Is the cover rust-proof?

It is hot-dip galvanised, which offers superior protection against corrosion and rust in outdoor conditions.

What tools do I need to open the cover?

You will require standard manhole lifting keys compatible with the integrated keyways provided on the frame.

How deep is the tray for the paving?

The tray depth is 100mm, allowing for a deep infill of block pavers.

Does it come with a seal?

Yes, it features a built-in double seal design to prevent odors and ingress.

Troubleshooting

Cover is difficult to lift

Check that the keyways are free of compacted debris or grit; ensure the correct lifting keys are being used.

The cover does not sit flush with the surrounding paving

Verify the depth of the bedding mortar. You may need to adjust the sub-base level or the mortar thickness to align the tray top with surrounding pavers.

Odors are noticeable around the cover

Check the condition of the double seal. Clean the seat of the frame thoroughly and ensure the cover is seated properly in the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-load capacity suitable for residential driveways and light commercial areas
  • Excellent weather resistance due to hot-dip galvanisation
  • Aesthetic integration with block paving finishes
  • Secure double-seal mechanism prevents leaks and smells

Cons

  • Heavy construction requires mechanical aid or careful handling during installation
  • Fixed dimensions require precise ground preparation
  • Greater tray depth may necessitate deeper excavation than standard covers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, first confirm that your opening size aligns with the 600 x 450mm requirement. Ensure the sub-base is leveled correctly to accommodate the 132mm frame depth. When filling the tray, ensure that the paving materials are properly bonded to the steel base to prevent shifting under wheel loads. Maintenance is minimal; periodically remove the cover using the keyways to clean out any debris from the seal area and ensure the hinges or edges remain free of grit, which could affect the seal's integrity over time.
