How to install D400 manhole covers

1 Check the diameter of the manhole opening or groove


that the frame is to be fitted on.
If necessary, insert a formwork around and/or inside the
manhole on which the cover is to be fitted.
Make sure that the frame does not lay on the formwork
when in its final position.

2 Check the condition of the manhole opening or groove,


removing any debris, loose particles or dirt (oil, grease,
etc.).
Remove any dust from the support.

3 Do not use any (metal or wooden…) brackets, or any


threaded spindles when adjusting the height of the
frame.

4 Lay a coat of sealing product around the top of the


manhole. The minimum recommended thickness for
the coat under the frame, once installed and levelled, is:
- 4 cm in the case of quick setting “micro-concrete” type
sealing products,
- 8 cm in the case of a 350 CPA concrete sealing.

It is essential to follow very carefully


the instructions of the product used.
For example a frame of height 100 mm :

the frame to the same level as the wearing

This adjustment should be carried out by exerting


downward pressure on the frame to ensure that the
sealing product spreads evenly under the surface.
If the frame is situated below the surface level, then you
must go back to point 4 and repeat the operation 4.

At this stage you may opt to vibrate the concrete using
vibrating needles, providing that you ensure that this will
not alter the level of the frame.

PLEASE NOTE
Following installation, it is essential
to check that the sealing product is
not touching the lower section of
the ring and prior to use, clean the
manhole cover and the surrounding
area thoroughly. 30 / 50 mm

Particular care must be taken


with the operating parts, namely

others, the bases, the spaces for the

USEFUL TIP
In order to ensure that the sealing
will last, especially under conditions
of frost and thawing, we advise
eliminating the water inlets on the
sealing/roadway and sealing/frame
interfaces by using either a liquid
emulsion or a flexible joint.

ROADWAY REPAIRS:
In the event of roadway repair work, the following
precautions must be taken:

wear and tear (e.g. caused by the cutting of the

the ring is a maintenance element. Regular re-
placement will allow performance levels to be
maintained over time.
You must also carry out the same checks (see p. 8)
as in the case of an initial sealing process.

RECOMMENCEMENT OF USE IN TRAFFIC:


The seal must offer sufficient performance
guarantees in order to withstand the general
mechanical stress generated by traffic before
the manhole cover can become operational once
more..
Please refer to the sealing product specifications
in order to determine the length of time before
the manhole cover can be used under traffic
conditions.
