HDPE Rainstopper Manhole Insert

Lightweight. Cost-Effective. Reliable.

The HDPE Rainstopper is our budget-friendly inflow solution – delivering effective inflow reduction at a lower cost. What makes it different: at only 2 pounds, it’s the lightest Rainstopper model, making installation fast and labor costs minimal.

This is the choice for cost-conscious projects. Manufactured in the USA from durable HDPE plastic, it provides reliable inflow protection in light to moderate stormwater environments without the premium price of stainless steel.
