Round vs Rectangular Manhole Covers
The best shape depends on your chamber opening, access needs and installation details. This guide helps you choose the right option quickly.
Round covers
- • Common for circular openings and many municipal works
- • Easy alignment and uniform seating
- • Good choice when your chamber is already round
Rectangular covers
- • Best when opening is rectangular or access needs are wider
- • Useful for inspection points where tools need extra space
- • Confirm frame size vs clear opening before ordering
Measurement tip
Always measure the clear opening and confirm the frame outer size. If you share both dimensions, we can suggest the correct cover+frame combination.
