Square to Round

1. What is a square to round recessed cover used for?
It allows a square or rectangular recessed tray to fit over a circular inspection chamber, combining discreet coverage with practical access.

2. Why would you use a square cover on a round opening?
This design provides a flat surface that can be filled with paving or screed while still fitting securely over a standard round manhole or access chamber.

3. What material is it made from?
The cover and frame are usually manufactured from galvanised steel, offering robust performance and resistance to corrosion.

4. Can it be filled with paving or concrete?
Yes, the recessed tray is designed to be infilled with block paving, slabs, or concrete to match surrounding surfaces.

5. Is this suitable for use in a driveway?
Yes, for light-duty driveways. For heavier loads, ensure the product’s weight rating matches the intended traffic.

6. Is it compatible with standard inspection chambers?
Yes, it is designed to fit common circular inspection chambers found in domestic drainage systems.

7. Does it include a frame?
Yes, the cover comes with a compatible galvanised frame for secure and level installation.

8. Is this type of cover sealed or watertight?
It’s typically unsealed but may be fitted with sealing strips or covers if a watertight solution is required.

9. Can it be lifted easily for access?
Yes, it includes lifting points or keyholes for use with manhole lifting keys.

10. Where is this most commonly installed?
It’s ideal for patios, garden paths, and driveways where a neat, integrated look is preferred over a visible manhole cover.
