Acceptance & Storage
Proper storage helps ensure a long service life. Long-term exposure to UV rays can deteriorate the gasket, so stored units should be protected from direct sunlight. Rainstopper leaving shrink-wrapped units on pallets if stored outdoors or storing unpackaged units indoors away from UV exposure. HDPE units should follow the same basic handling guidelines and be stored on flat, stable pallets.
Installation Instructions
To install the Rainstopper, remove the manhole lid. Clean all dirt and debris from the manhole frame.
