Be wary of poor quality import imitations…

…they can, and sometimes do… fail. Poorly designed low quality products could fail under actual live H-20 conditions, and sometimes do as you can see, and are a hazard to safety and a liability for your municipal infrastructure. Photo shown is of a “cast-iron” manhole cover possibly made in India, although markings required by federal law are not visible anywhere on the top of this cover, nor is the name of the manufacturer. Federal law requires that the country of origin be clearly visible on TOP of products imported into the U.S…

For your H-20 rated cast iron manhole cover needs, insist on buying only high quality American made products. Bass & Hays® only sells manhole products that are made entirely in the U.S. from U.S. “domestic source” materials of the highest quality, that are properly engineered, designed, manufactured, and thoroughly tested- in the USA. If it’s not clearly marked on the top “Made In USA” – it’s not domestic. When you buy American made, you are buying the best. Use the contact form or call us to request more info, discuss options, or to request LEED® certifications and submittal sheets.
