DUCTILE IRON

The key to Passus’  strength is ductile iron.  Ductile iron provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio, which allows up to a 50% weight savings compared to cast-iron designs.  CLICK for more detailed technical information on the properties of ductile iron.

DESIGN FEATURES

  • Improved ergonomics:
  • Hinges reduce the physical effort by 50%.
  • Hinges allow operator to move in a straight line, thereby avoiding damaging spinal rotation.
  • Hinges minimize the duration of the lift; the hinge also retains the cover in a safe and controlled way during and after the lift.
  • Lifting points in the cover are designed for use with standard tools (pickaxe/hook/bar).
  • Hinge incorporates a 90º blocking feature to prevent accidental closure.
  • Self-centering design of the gasket eliminates the need to guide the cover into position when closing.
  • Design of apertures ensures easy insertion and removal of tools.
  • Lifting loops in the frame facilitate safe offloading and installation with the proper equipment.
  • The cover is designed to open and release pressure if the sewer becomes surcharged.
  • The cover can be removed if necessary.
