320mm Recessed Manhole Cover & Frame 46mm deep
Product Description
This 320mm Recessed Manhole Cover & Frame 46mm deep, with a 46mm deep tray, provides a neat, flush, and secure access point for underground drainage or inspection chambers. Ideal for installations where paved surfaces, screed or concrete finishes need to sit level over the cover, it allows surrounding materials to overlay the frame, resulting in a clean, integrated look without protruding edges.
Constructed with a square frame and a circular opening in the centre, this unit uses durable materials: a black polypropylene frame allied with a galvanised steel recessed lid. A rubber gasket seal ensures water-tightness, while four locking screws help secure the cover firmly in place. The whole construction is built to resist weather, soil pressure, light pedestrian or driveway loads (depending on use), and regular access.
With a tray depth of approximately 46mm, the frame provides enough recess to accommodate overlay finishes — paving, screed, tiles or setts — so the top of the cover sits flush or nearly flush with the surrounding surface. The square outer frame dimensions give a tidy border around the circular lid, balancing aesthetic appeal and functional access.
