FloPlast PVCu Manhole Cover Square - 340mm - Black
This 340mm solid top manhole cover is made from strong PVCu. The actual overall size of the cover ...This 340mm solid top manhole cover is made from strong PVCu. The actual overall size of the cover is 340mm x 340mm x 85mm and it is for use with 300mm chamber risers. Plastic manholes, whether polypropylene or PVC, are all durable and long-lasting. Manufactured by injection moulding to exacting specifications, they will stand the test of time. They are considerably lighter than their cast ductile iron counterparts. All of our plastic manhole covers are made to fit directly onto the top riser ring of a plastic inspection chamber. Because of this they are most commonly used in new build applications. Replacing broken manhole covers is always tricky. The abiding rules are that you must ensure that the correct load rated cover is selected, and that you measure the clear opening of the manhole rather than the old frame or cover and make sure that the new cover has at least the same size clear opening. Unfortunately we are unable to supply covers without frames. All replacement covers must be fitted in their own frame, which means removing the old frame. This black PVCu square screw down cover from FloPlast is ideal for carrying waste safely and cleanly away from your home. The FloPlast 340mm Black Plastic Square Sealed Drain Cover and Frame is for use on 300mm mini access chambers with screwed down lid. It can take loadings up to a maximum of 1.5kN (A15 rating). For use with mini access chamber inspection chambers up to 600mm deep.
This guide is for homeowners and contractors using the FloPlast 340mm Black Plastic Square Sealed Drain Cover. This cover provides a durable and secure solution for accessing and maintaining drainage systems. However, it's essential to ensure the correct load rating is selected for your application. This guide covers setup, usage, and troubleshooting to help you get the most out of your FloPlast manhole cover.
