PRECAST CONCRETE MANHOLES –
MANHOLE CONFIGURATIONS
OPTION 1
NB – Cast iron frames 2 & 2A require
square adaptors and spacers while
cast iron frames 4 & 4A require round
adaptors and spacers.
Heavy duty lids tests to 120kN.
Medium duty lids tests to 60kN.
Both heavy and medium duty lids fit in
the frame which is 130mm high.
A round spacer can be used. This is 75mm
high. A square spacer is 100mm high.
Access shaft sections are 750mm in
diameter and available in heights of
250, 500 and 1 000mm.
The reducer slab reduces chamber
sections to 750mm shaft sections
and is available in four sizes (1 000,
1 250, 1 500 and 1 750) and heights
respectively (150, 185, 220 and 220mm)
and has a 750mm diameter hole.
Option 2 allows for a cover slab instead
on which a frame and lid can be fitted.
Throughout all options three types of
bases can be used. Precast complete
with benching, a cast-in-situ founda-
tion using a 250mm chamber section
or a 500mm section conversion.

Option 2 does away with the adaptor Option 3 does away with the frame,
and shaft section/s and instead of a spacer, adaptor and access shaft used

Please note that the drilled holes
should not be closer than 150mm from
either the top or bottom of the section.
