HIDE Manhole Covers (HMHC)
HIDE Manhole Covers in 20" and 26" sizes conceal large utility access points beneath your surface material for a seamless finish. 316 stainless steel, available in 0.8" and 1.2" depths. Ideal for pool decks, driveways, and commercial spaces.
Large-Scale Concealed Access: HIDE Manhole Covers
HIDE Manhole Covers bring the same seamless, concealed design philosophy to large-scale access points that the smaller HIDE covers provide for standard utility access. Available in 20-inch and 26-inch square sizes with 0.8-inch and 1.2-inch depth options, these oversized covers are engineered to hide large service manholes, utility access points, and inspection chambers beneath a surface-matched inlay that blends into your surrounding hardscape. The result is a premium outdoor space free from the visual disruption of industrial-looking manhole lids.
Key Features
- Large 20″ and 26″ square sizes conceal full-sized manholes and major utility access points
- 316 stainless steel construction provides industrial-grade durability for high-traffic areas
- Inlay your chosen surface material (stone, tile, pavers) for an invisible, flush finish
- 0.8″ depth supports materials up to 7/8″ thick; 1.2″ depth handles materials up to 1-1/4″
- Low-profile design eliminates trip hazards for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles
- 10-year warranty on stainless steel components with routine maintenance
Applications and Installation
HIDE Manhole Covers are ideal for residential driveways, pool deck equipment vaults, commercial courtyards, outdoor dining areas, and public walkways. For thicker inlay materials, the back can be shaved down to fit within the 1.2″ maximum depth. These covers are NOT suitable for concrete inlay — a 1.6″ depth cover is recommended for wet-pour concrete applications. The covers can be installed into new construction or retrofitted into existing outdoor surfaces. Professional installation by a licensed contractor is strongly recommended.
