With decades of service and commitment to quality, the Betts’ Full Opening Manhole product line is the proven leader of the chemical transportation and stationary tank markets. This industrial grade 20” [508 mm] manhole includes a low-profile shallow head and conforms to the requirements of 49CFR§178.345-5 and §178.347-3 for use as an access port on DOT cargo tanks.
The 8310-manhole assembly incorporates six (6) threaded 304SS wing‑nut hold‑downs and heavy‑duty 5/8‑inch 304SS welded swing-bolts. The hinge is configured to provide 180-degree opening but optional hinge-stops are also available. Manholes are available in multiple material configurations with a range of gasket material options to accommodate specific service applications. Manholes manufactured from 316 stainless steel are fully passivated in accordance with ASTM A380 and are suitable for a wide range of chemical and food‑grade applications.
This manhole is NOT rated for ASME service, but Betts does offer an extensive line of ASME manholes.
