Manhole parts and components play a crucial role in the municipal sewer and water industry by ensuring the structural integrity and operational efficiency of underground infrastructure. These parts are designed to protect against groundwater infiltration, facilitate regular maintenance and enhance overall system durability. Innovative sealing systems and testing devices help prevent leaks and structural failures, while advanced lifting and handling tools improve safety and efficiency during repairs. Check out some product options below.
CCI Piping Systems WrapidSeal Manhole Encapsulation System
The WrapidSeal Manhole Encapsulation System from CCI Piping Systems consists of an engineered primer and a wrap-around, heat-shrinkable sleeve designed to seal joints and prevent groundwater from entering a collections system. This material has a high-shrink membrane (70% stretch and 40% recovery) designed to shrink around any manhole profile. In addition, the high-tensile strength accommodates structural movement while the tough backing resists soil stress and provides suitable abrasion resistance. It can be used for new construction or for the rehabilitation of existing manholes to control infiltration through joints and prevent deterioration, thus eliminating costly maintenance repairs and the added expense of treating groundwater.

Cherne Air-Loc Bladder Style Manhole Testers
Cherne Air-Loc Bladder Style Manhole Testers provide an efficient, cost-effective method of testing new, existing and rehabilitated manholes, per ASTM C 1244. The testers, supported by an aluminum brace, seal the inside diameter of the manhole at the frame or core. The pushpin rod design enables easy depth adjustment. The remote inflation and monitoring system keeps users away from the danger zone. They are available in 10 variations.

Cretex Specialty Products Internal Chimney Seal
Cretex Specialty Products Internal Chimney Seals are mechanical, so there is no need to worry about surface adhesion or stopping active leaks prior to installation. The seals eliminate and prevent manhole chimney inflow. During wet weather, clear water enters the manhole through deteriorated and broken chimney joints, which may burden the collections system. The chimney seal has a 50-year design life and is available in four widths, allowing complete chimney coverage up to 24 vertical inches with a single seal.

Italifters XT10
The XT10 from Italifters is a universal magnetic manhole cover lifter with triple movable magnetic plate. It is suitable for lifting, moving and repositioning most manhole covers, drains, cast iron grates and ferrous materials. It is specifically ideal for linear, deformed and damaged manholes caused by traffic load. Its triple magnetic plate has a total of 27 neodymium magnetic pads, which grant an optimization of the magnetic contact and a superior adhesive force. Its handle is telescopic, to allow ergonomics and minimal space for transport and stocking. Using the tool is simple, fast and intuitive.
Mr. Manhole Water Valve Rebuild Package
The Mr. Manhole Water Valve Rebuild Package offers an efficient solution for water valve rebuilds, especially after paving operations. It is a rebuild system for water valve boxes in the street, which often go unrepaired after a paving operation simply because people don’t realize they can be easily adjusted using this simple and effective method. The system allows for easy adjustment of water valve boxes, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of rebuilding. It includes an underslung adapter (for the Mr. Manhole cutter) and a reduced-diameter cutting blade designed for precision, capable of cutting diameters from 28 to 38 inches. This adaptability is crucial for different sizes of valve boxes, ensuring a centered and accurate cut every time.

RELINER/Duran Manhole Invert Channel
Improve manhole hydraulics with RELINER/Duran Modular Manhole Invert Channels. Molded fiberglass flumes with smooth sewer pipe interfaces are used to rehabilitate inverts without flow interruption and can be used for new construction. The field-installed modular components bolt together inside the manhole and serve as the form for a new concrete bench. The channels eliminate the inconsistencies associated with field-formed concrete channels. The full-depth lined channels are high flow and easy to clean and maintain. Standard 8- and 12-inch-depth channel sections fit through a 24-inch manhole frame and will accommodate 6- through 12-inch pipes. Larger sizes are available.

USB-USA Spin-Jet
The Spin-Jet from USB-USA is a self-centering, controlled rotating nozzle that is used for cleaning lift stations, barrels and manholes prior to rehabilitation. Available in two different versions, it has driving nozzles that rotate in a 360-degree horizontal plane only. This action eliminates the need to cover the manhole during operation, allowing for constant viewing of the cleaning process. Front jets thoroughly clean any grease, sludge or mud at the bottom.
