Manhole Cover | Manhole Covers | Recessed Manhole Covers

Manhole covers have been around for hundreds of years and with the dawn of new technology, weve been graced with more innovative and safer ways to protect and cover manholes and other draining systems. A manhole cover, drain cover, or maintenance hole cover, is a removable plate forming the lid over the opening of a manhole. We stock a range of shapes, materials, and sizes, to help you choose for easy and direct access to inspection chambers for maintenance work on water or sewage pipes.

Different frames and lids will have different load-bearing capacities, so make sure you know what type of usage the manhole frame and lid you are browsing for will have to deal with prior to purchasing. For example, a Steel Manhole Cover and Frame (product code PC7BG) will support 5 tonnes of weight, whereas the Cast Iron Manhole Cover and Frame - Class D400 supports up to 40 tonnes.

All of our drain lids and frames are supplied by Clark, which is a trusted market leader. They manufacture lids and frames which can be placed in driveways, pedestrian areas, and landscaped spaces. As well as lids and frames, we also supply hinged gully grating and frames for pedestrian areas, road kerbsides, driveways, and highways.

Manhole Covers 

Unlike drain covers, a maintenance hole cover or a manhole cover is a removable plate forming a lid over the opening of a manhole. The opening of the manhole is large enough for a person to pass through it. This opening is used as an access point for maintenance and other work on an underground utility vault or pipe. Manhole covers are designed to prevent anyone or anything to fall into it. Plastic and iron covers and frames are black so they may look better in the tarmac driveway. Manhole covers are often made from Clark Drain is one of the UK market leaders in the supply of manhole covers and is probably the best-known name in the industry. It is to be noted that most modern manhole covers are not compatible with old frames. If you are planning to install a manhole covering  it is advised to remove the entire old frame and install the new cover and frame as a complete unit. It is also called a drainage manhole covers. It is important to select the right size and weight loading for manhole covers and frames. Below is the chart showed. 

Manhole covers Load Class Description

Galvanised Manhole Covers deadline

Galvanised and view steel manhole covers are lightweight yet strong. Galvanised lid steel manhole covers complete with Polypropylene frames.

Types of manhole covers

Recessed manhole: Recessed manhole covers are a relatively modern invention. It enables slabs, sewer screeds or blocks to be laid within a metal tray to give access to the drainage system channel whilst blending it seamlessly with the surrounding material.

Internal manhole: Recessed internal use manhole are specially manufactured and are fitted with a neoprene seal that eliminates the odor. Internally recessed manhole can be used outside provided they are not installed in a driveway.

Standard manhole: Standard manhole are usually made of castings iron, galvanized steel, plastic, or concrete. They are cost-effective and strong slip-resistant manhole.

Access covers: Unlike manhole, access covers are removable lids placed over man-made openings to restrict access for safety and security reasons. The access points are usually found on pavements, footways, car parks, driveways, and internal floors, and they allow maintenance workers quick, easy, and safe access to concealed areas less, such as wiring, cabling, signals, plumbing, drainage, heating, and ventilation.

In general, the covers can be constructed from stainless steel or aluminium, or from composite materials. They are much more aesthetically pleasing than conventional covers and are designed to seamlessly blend into their surroundings. These covers can be filled with many different types of floors, including brick, concrete, ceramic tiles, and granite, helping them to blend in perfectly when needed.

Class of Seal Covers

Single Seal: Standard manhole grates covers have a single seal that is applied to both the cover and the frame. Alternatively, seals can be made from neoprene strips. This type of single seal manhole is usually sufficient to create an airtight seal.

Double Seal: As long as there is no pressure applied to the seal, it creates a comprehensive airtight seal, as if the seals above were doubling ring. This sort of seal is best suited to internal sewage series steel manholes.

No Seal: Several covers are airtight, but some slide into place rather than sealing closely. These are often called “plain seated”. Cables and utilities can be accessed easily, and smell will not matter. These types also tend to be more cost-effective.

Manhole Cover film Sizes

Manhole cover sizes come in different sizes starting from 300mm. And the length goes up to 900mm sewer. The manhole cover sizes from 300mm x 300mm to 1200mm x 1200mm in square and rectangular sizes from 450mm to 600mm diameters inch are also available.
