Hidrostep
50 0.78 C67

Features

Main characteristics:

  • Material and coating: corrugated steel core of 12mm covered with Copolymer Polypropylene of high impact resistance.
  • Manhole steps have patterned surface to avoid falls.
  • In accordance with EN 13101:
    • Test of load: deflection ≤ 10mm on a vertical load of 2 kN, with permanent deflection ≤ 2mm - deflection ≤ 50mm on 4 kN, class I
    • Unfix: minimal effort of 5 kN
    • Impact: mass 20 kg drop shot to fall down from a height of 1 m
    • Twisting: ≤ 5mm in the whole extension of the front bar

Installation

Once concrete is hardened two 25 mm diameter holes are drilled to install the step. There should be a distance of 330/300mm between the center points of the two holes and a 85/105mm depth (it depends upon the model).

The manhole step should be tapped on each end alternately until fully inserted to a depth of 80/100mm.

It is essential to check that the holes are drilled accurately. Otherwise there will be necessary to fill in with mortar or filler.
