Watertight! Stop I&I!

Watertight! Stop I&I!
Submerged in 15 inches of water, overnight, with 0.00 gpm through the cover & frame. Perhaps the only 36-inch clear-opening, watertight cover with accessories included standard.
Watertight...or Vented!
Vented CAPs with Molded-In (Not Drilled) Holes!
If you don't need our watertight version of the CAP ONE , and need to release line pressure, CAP can mold-in vent holes...not drilled holes! Drilling can expose fiber filaments to the environment. And CAP's vent holes are not on the structural members (photo on right). Molding-in holes is impossible or difficult to do with other composite options. For example, in the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process, the manufacturer must stack many layers of woven fiber. Molding holes in RTM covers would require holes cut into the raw materials, so holes are drilled into post molded covers in many RTM solutions rather than molded-in.

Are custom logos important to your city, business, campus, or other organization? CAP can create the tooling for your look.
Existing Message Or New Ones
CAPs have three custom message, text, and graphic areas. The top arch is typically used to identify the municipality name, the center circle is used for a graphic, and the bottom arch usually is used for the utility type. Many "generic" message molds have already been created and can save the one-time setup fees.
CAP ONE® Features
Corrosion Resistant Hardware
CAP locking systems and hardware exposed to H2S gas are made with 316 Stainless Steel - Austenite crystal giving maximum resistance of a metal to corrosion. Also, CAP's bolts are all Xylan coated to prevent galling and stripping. CAP offers three bolt head types: hex, allen, penta. Special unique key heads are also available. Don't like bolts? CAP also offers 316 SS "Paddle Lock" latches for faster access (see below)
Thicker Frame Walls
Compared to another composite option, CAP's frames (top frame in photo) have twice the wall thickness and twice the flange. This provides adequate robustness for vehicle impact and other common handling abuse.
Want Your Logo - Send Us The Detail
CAP can produce interchangeable, hardened steel molds for the custom logo positions. These molds can withstand 800 tons and look sharp! So, CAP logos are molded in the substrate - not a surface decal or veil. CAP's logos are 3-4 times deeper (about 1/8 inch) on the surface vs. some current RTM options. CAP's logo depth gives a more pronounced surface appearance. RTM detail as deep as CAP's would create resin-rich areas that can blister and wear - one reason some RTM covers have 0.03" to 0.04" tread depth.
