About This Item
ASTM F1143 is the ASTM standard that addresses a bolted, raised, oiltight and watertight manhole cover assembly. It provides a technical reference for selecting and evaluating this type of cover assembly where a secure, sealed closure is important. By focusing on the cover assembly itself, the standard helps support consistent product expectations, procurement, and quality control for applications that require controlled access and resistance to leakage.
What is ASTM F1143?
ASTM F1143 is a specification for a manhole cover assembly with bolted construction and a raised design intended to be oiltight and watertight. As a product standard, it is typically used to define the characteristics that a compliant assembly should meet, helping manufacturers, buyers, and specifiers align on what the component is intended to do. The standard’s title indicates a focus on assembly performance and sealing capability rather than general manhole design.
Where is ASTM F1143 used?
ASTM F1143 is commonly used where manhole cover assemblies must help limit the passage of liquids, including oil and water, while maintaining secure access to an underlying opening. It is relevant to installations that specify a bolted, raised cover arrangement and need a standard reference for ordering, inspection, or product comparison. In practice, it supports projects and maintenance workflows that depend on a clearly defined sealed cover assembly.
Why is ASTM F1143 important?
ASTM F1143 matters because it gives purchasers and engineers a common specification basis for a specialized manhole cover assembly. That helps reduce ambiguity during procurement, supports quality control, and can improve consistency in product evaluation and acceptance. For applications where sealing performance is important, using ASTM F1143 as a reference can help lower the risk of mismatch between expected and delivered product characteristics.
