THERMODRAIN Recess Manhole Covers are designed to cover manholes and utility access points in drainage, sewage, and utility service networks. The recessed design allows paving materials like tiles, blocks, or concrete to be fixed within the frame, making the cover flush with the surrounding surface
Thermodrain Recess Manhole Covers (with Frame)
THERMODRAIN recess covers with frame are tested as per BS EN 124, IS1726 & AASHTO M306 standards for drainage and Utility services meeting all requirements of the code. THERMODRAIN Covers are better performing than Cast Iron, Ductile Iron and RCC recess covers.

1) What are THERMODRAIN Recess Manhole Covers used for?
-
2) What material is used to make THERMODRAIN Recess Manhole Covers?These covers are made from FRP/GRP composite material — Fiber Reinforced Plastic/Glass Reinforced Plastic — a strong polymer composite that provides high strength relative to weight. This composite material is UV-stabilized, corrosion-resistant, and non-brittle, and it often comes with double seal arrangements and closed bottom keyholes.
-
3) How durable are THERMODRAIN Recess Manhole Covers?THERMODRAIN covers are tested to international standards (like BS EN 124, IS 1726, and AASHTO M306) and come in load-bearing classes from 2.5 T to E600 (up to ~60 tons), making them suitable for pedestrian to heavy traffic zones. Their composite construction resists corrosion from water, sewage, chemicals, and UV exposure, resulting in long service life and minimal maintenance.
-
4) What advantages do THERMODRAIN FRP covers have over traditional cast iron covers?
-
THERMODRAIN FRP/GRP covers vs Cast Iron Covers:
- Lightweight & easy to handle vs heavy, requiring more manpower.
- Corrosion-resistant (no rust) vs metal is prone to corrosion over time.
- No scrap metal value → low theft risk vs cast iron has resale value and is often stolen.
- Self-pigmented (no painting needed) vs cast iron often needs regular repainting/coating.
- Better chemical resistance in harsh environments.
-
5) Are THERMODRAIN covers easy to install and maintain?Yes. Because they are lightweight compared to metal or concrete covers, installation is easier, faster, and often requires fewer workers. Their weather and chemical resistance means low maintenance, and features like sealed keyholes help prevent foul odors and mosquito breeding.
