Stainless Steel Rainstopper With Tetherlok
Safe. Secure. Theft-Proof.
The Stainless Steel Rainstopper with Tetherlok is our security-focused configuration. What sets it apart: the patented Tetherlok cable system that prevents theft, loss, and accidental drop-through during inspections and maintenance.
This is the choice when asset protection matters. A 3/16″ braided stainless steel cable secures the insert to the manhole frame, ensuring it stays where it belongs and eliminating costly retrievals that can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Best For
Everything the Standard Stainless Steel Rainstopper handles, with added benefits for:
- High-traffic or theft-prone areas where security is critical.

- Projects needing both inflow protection and asset protection.
- Systems where accountability and guaranteed reinstallation are required.
What Makes Tetherlok Different
The Tetherlok system adds a layer of security and accountability that standard inserts cannot provide:
Tetherlok System Included
3/16″ braided stainless steel cable with drive pin anchors the insert permanently to the manhole frame. The cover cannot be closed until the insert is properly reattached, forcing accountability during maintenance. Prevents costly retrievals and downstream blockages.
Stainless Steel Handle
Corrosion-resistant for long-term reliability. Standard on this model for enhanced durability.
Standard Neoprene Gasket
Reliable sealing for general use.
Patented Ribbed Pan
Adds structural strength and prevents deformation under heavy loads.
Patented Nitrile Gas Relief Plug
Non-mechanical venting design with offset placement to prevent accidental dislodging during maintenance.
