Hello,

I have two manhole covers (sewage/drainage) Hydrotec A15 in my driveway. One cover was damaged, so I have been looking for a replacement for some time.

Does anyone know a supplier I could contact?

Dimensions:
  • Diameter 63.7cm (25 inches)
  • Cover edge height 2.8cm (1.1 inches)
  • Edge thickness 0.5cm (0.2 inches)

I have attached photos for reference.

Thank you and best regards

First result on Google -> manufacturer. Call them and ask for a distributor?

You can get those online, right? Or is this a special one?
I want one with a compass on it because it’s near the entrance, and I find the regular ones kind of ugly. I thought it would be a huge hassle, but I was wrong.

@Müllerin I'm not sure if the sealing ring in the concrete is standardized. It looks different here compared to my Maier cast cover. But Hydrotec also seems to be a common option.

Only the shipping via DHL will be interesting.

That’s rather unlikely to happen.
This is freight shipping.

Such a cover costs around 150-200€ as far as I know. It’s better to buy it from a local building supplier because ordering online doesn’t make sense due to the freight costs.

Then go ahead and build a runway.

DHL delivers with one person. Somewhere around 32kg (70 lbs) is the limit, due to occupational safety and so on.
The lid weighs 60kg (132 lbs) or more.
