Cast Iron Drain Covers, Grates and Frames

Cast iron drain covers and framed grates are used at road gullies, curb inlets, stormwater channels, yards and trench drainage points. Buyers should confirm whether the drawing requires grey cast iron or ductile iron, because material, load performance and project wording are not interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions

Is a metal drain cover the same as a manhole cover?

Not always. Buyers may use broad search terms, but the product can be a solid access cover, an open drainage grate or a framed catch basin cover. The drawing should decide the final item.

Can cast iron and ductile iron be substituted?

They have different material properties. Any substitution should be reviewed against the project standard, load requirement and approval process.

Can the frame size be customized?

Yes. Clear opening, outside frame, frame depth and seating details can be reviewed from the project drawing.

What should be provided for a quick quotation?

Send the product drawing, material, load class, quantity, destination port and any marking or inspection requirements.
