450mm Recessed Manhole Cover & Frame 80mm deep

Product Description

Provide a secure, durable, and professionally finished access point to your underground drainage or utility chamber with this 450mm Recessed Manhole Cover & Frame 80mm deep, featuring an 80mm deep frame. Designed for recessed or built-in installations where paving, slabs, or other surface finishes are laid flush to the surrounding ground, this cover/frame combination ensures safe, stable, and practical chamber access while maintaining aesthetic integrity.

The recessed design means the frame sits below the finished surface by 80mm, allowing surrounding materials (paving, tiles, etc.) to overlay and form a flush surface with the cover. This reduces trip hazards and creates a more streamlined appearance. The cover and frame are constructed from strong, weather-resistant materials (such as durable plastic or composite) intended to handle pedestrian loadings and normal environmental exposure without warping or corrosion.

Whether used in gardens, patios, paths, light foot-traffic zones, or utility access points, the 450mm opening (nominal) gives ample room for inspection or maintenance tools, cables, or pipe access as needed. The frame includes integral supporting lips or flanges to be bedded properly into the surrounding substrate so that load is distributed and the frame remains stable under load. The cover itself is designed to sit securely within the frame, often with close tolerances or securing hardware, to prevent rattling, ingress of debris, or water seepage.

Key Features

• Recessed frame depth: ≈80mm for built-in / overlay finish

• Cover opening diameter: ≈450mm (nominal) for generous access

• Durable construction materials suited to outdoor / underground exposure

• Designed for installation flush with paving, slab, or hard surface finishes

• Secure seating of cover in frame to prevent movement or ingress

• Capacities suitable for pedestrian/light foot-traffic zones

Benefits

• Flush, safe surface finish: The recessed frame allows the cover to sit nearly level with surrounding surface materials, minimizing trip risks and improving visual finish.

• Improved aesthetics: Surrounding paving or surface finishes can be continued right up to the edge of the frame without awkward gaps or raised edges.

• Strong and stable installation: Proper frame depth and solid bedding help distribute loads and maintain durability under traffic and environmental stress.

• Access & safety: Large opening allows easy entry for inspection, cleaning or maintenance, while secure fit reduces risk of cover displacement.

• Low maintenance & weather resistant: Designed to resist corrosion, moisture ingress, and long-term exposure, with minimal upkeep required.
