Handhole & Manhole Assemblies
The
self-sealing yoke and bolt manway provides the most economical and reliable
access to pressure vessels. Yokes are designed for the positioning
and holding of the covers only. Gasket sealing is accomplished by
the appliction of internal pressure.
When cover assemblies are
ordered without rings, customers are requested to specify the bolt length
required.
Handhole
and manhole covers are designed and fabricated in accordance with the ASME
code. (See cover profile drawing) The size and pressure temperature
rating are stamped on all covers where space permits. All sizes shown
are in inches. The nominal size dimensions are the inside dimensions
of the opening into which the covers will be installed.
Covers are stocked in SA516
Grade 70 steel. They can also be supplied in stainless steel (grades
304, 304L, 316 and 316L). Our gasket stock includes red rubber, neoprene
and Thermofab 500. Gaskets in other materials are available on request.
All covers are registered
in Canada.
