About This Item
ASTM F1142 is the ASTM standard for a bolted, semi-flush manhole cover assembly designed to be oiltight and watertight. It provides a technical basis for describing and evaluating cover assemblies intended to help control leakage and support dependable access to below-grade infrastructure. By defining the expected specification framework, ASTM F1142 helps manufacturers, specifiers, and buyers align on a consistent product definition for this type of cover assembly.
Purpose of ASTM F1142
The purpose of ASTM F1142 is to establish a clear specification for a manhole cover assembly with bolted construction and a semi-flush profile. The standard focuses on the product attributes suggested by its title, including oiltight and watertight performance expectations. This makes it a useful reference for comparing designs, supporting procurement decisions, and maintaining consistency in product requirements. ASTM F1142 helps reduce ambiguity when a project calls for a defined cover assembly configuration.
Common use cases of ASTM F1142
ASTM F1142 is commonly used when specifying or evaluating manhole cover assemblies for installations where a secure, sealed cover is needed. It is relevant to access points that may need protection against liquid intrusion and where a bolted, semi-flush design is preferred. Typical use includes product selection, submittal review, and quality control for assemblies intended to meet the standard’s stated oiltight and watertight characteristics. ASTM F1142 supports clearer communication between manufacturers and purchasers.
Why ASTM F1142 matters
ASTM F1142 matters because it gives stakeholders a shared technical reference for a specialized manhole cover assembly. In practice, that supports more consistent compliance checks, product evaluation, and specification writing. For procurement teams, it helps define what is being requested; for manufacturers, it supports more focused quality control and documentation. Using ASTM F1142 can also help reduce risk by making performance expectations clearer before purchase or installation decisions are finalized.
