NOTE: Metric measurements are in millimeters and italic square parentheses

following the English measurement.

Manhole Roof Panel

Install the Manhole Roof Panel last. Both ribs go on top of the ribs of the adjoining
Roof Panels.

Bolt-On Manhole Installation to a Standard Roof Panel

1. Locate the Collar on a Roof Panel so the vertical outside face of the Collar is
2 1/4" [57.2] from the base of the Roof rib. The bottom of the cutout area should
be 3 3/4" [95.3] up from the center line connecting the Roof Anchor Bolt holes.
2. Drill an 11/32" [8.7] diameter hole through the top and bottom of the Collar
flange and through the Roof Panel. Temporarily bolt the Collar to the Roof Panel.
3. Drill 11/32" [8.7] diameter holes around the Collar in the Flange and through
Roof Panel approximately 3" [76.2] apart from center-to-center.
4. On the Roof Panel, mark a line 1/2" [12.7] inside the Collar. Remove Collar and
cut out the opening along the marked line.
5. Caulk the underside of Collar Flange and bolt the Collar to Roof Panel using
5/16 x 1" Plastic Head Bolts and 5/16" Hex Nuts.
6. Hammer the 1/2" [12.7] edge up inside the Collar to stiffen the Panel and form
an extra barrier against moisture.
7. Clean off excess Caulking.
8. Follow Steps 1-6 on pages 4-5 for Lid, Hinge, and Latch assembly.
