Q:

I'm installing a 450mm manhole cover over an inspection chamber and the depth is over 1.2m, what shall I do?

A:

Use the CLKS499 Reducer, this fits on all our 450mm Dia inspection covers and will reduce the opening to 350mm to comply with the Building Regulations.

Q:

We have a broken cover!
– Do you do a 26"x 20" manhole cover?
– Do you do a 650mm x 550mm cover?

A:

All manhole covers and frames are measured by the clear opening, as this is the only true constant between manufacturer's designs. The above covers will be a 600mm x 450mm (24" x 18" approx) clear opening cover.

Q:

I'm fitting a 450mm inspection chamber cover in my driveway and my garden and do not know which one to use, can you advise?

A:

You should use the Clks 452 Polypropylene cover, which complies with Doc H of the Building Regulations 2002.

Q:

Our 2 tonne forklift has just broken a 10 Tonne GPW steel manhole cover. Why has this happened?

A:

Forklifts have smaller diameter tyres and a smaller contact area than standard road going vehicles. Calculations show that they apply at least 4 times the load of a 10 Tonne lorry plus extra dynamic forces due to solid tyres, little suspension etc. Clark-Drain recommends the use of our forklift loading covers for use in typical forklift loading areas.
