Description
The
315mm square manhole cover is a genuine
Pipelife 1195001686 cover and frame designed for the Pipelife Universal Access Junction and level invert chamber system. This
level invert chamber cover incorporates an
adjustable tilt manhole frame to assist alignment with the finished surface and forms part of a
sealed drainage access cover arrangement for underground drainage installations. Pipelife supplies the 315mm square cover and frame with a rubber ring seal, securing screws and a heavy-duty O-ring. The manufacturer confirms that its Access Junction cover arrangement can sustain loading up to 15kN, making the load rating an important consideration when choosing where the finished inspection chamber will be installed.
315mm Square Manhole Cover
The
315mm square manhole cover provides the finished access point at the top of a compatible 315mm inspection chamber. Its square surface frame allows it to sit neatly within paved and other finished surfaces while retaining access to the underground drainage chamber below. The cover can be removed when access is required for drainage inspection, maintenance or rodding. The compatible chamber base and riser components are sold separately and should be selected according to the required underground drainage arrangement.
Pipelife 1195001686 Cover & Frame
Pipelife 1195001686 is the manufacturer’s product reference for the 315mm square cover and frame used within the Universal Access Junction system. Pipelife’s UK trade literature identifies product code 1195001686 specifically as the Cover & Frame and confirms that it is supplied with a rubber ring seal and screws. Using the genuine
Pipelife 1195001686 reference also helps distinguish this component from the matching 1195001684 chamber base and 1196900475 chamber riser.
Level Invert Chamber Cover
The
level invert chamber cover forms the upper section of Pipelife’s 315mm inspection chamber arrangement. It is designed to work with the compatible chamber base and stackable risers, allowing an accessible inspection point to be created within an underground drainage system. The Pipelife Universal Access Junction system is designed for foul and storm-water drainage applications and incorporates dedicated sealing components throughout the assembly. This
level invert chamber cover should only be fitted to compatible chamber components. Always confirm the riser diameter and product system when replacing an existing inspection chamber cover.
Adjustable Tilt Manhole Frame
A useful feature of this product is the
adjustable tilt manhole frame. Pipelife specifically designed the frame to make alignment easier where the surrounding pavement or finished surface is uneven. The
adjustable tilt manhole frame allows the top of the inspection chamber to be better aligned with the surrounding finished level rather than relying on a completely fixed cover position. This can be particularly useful where a chamber is positioned within paving or another surface with a slight change in level.
Sealed Drainage Access Cover
The cover and frame are designed as part of a
sealed drainage access cover arrangement. Pipelife states that the 315mm cover and frame is supplied with a rubber ring seal and screws as part of its complete watertight drainage system. A heavy-duty O-ring is also incorporated into the compatible system. Correct positioning of all sealing components is important when the chamber is assembled. The
sealed drainage access cover allows the drainage chamber to remain accessible while forming part of the manufacturer’s complete sealed inspection chamber system.
15kN Manhole Cover Rating
Pipelife confirms that the covers used with its Universal Access Junction system can sustain load-bearing capacities up to 15kN. The 15kN rating should always be checked against the actual location and expected loading before installation. The stated rating should not be interpreted as automatically suitable for every driveway, road or trafficked application. Where heavier or specialist loading is expected, the drainage specification should be checked and a suitably rated alternative cover selected where required.
Pipelife Universal Access Junction System
The
315mm square manhole cover works with Pipelife’s modular Universal Access Junction system. Matching components include the 315mm chamber base and stackable chamber riser. The compatible Pipelife riser has a nominal diameter of 315mm and can be stacked where additional chamber height is required. The system allows the inspection chamber to be configured around the required drainage layout while retaining access from the finished surface. Pipelife states that the system has been tested against the performance requirements of EN 13598 for ancillary fittings used in non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage systems.

- 315mm nominal chamber size
- Square cover and frame
- Rubber ring seal included
- Securing screws included
- Adjustable tilt frame

Choosing the Correct 315mm Inspection Chamber Cover
Before ordering the
315mm square manhole cover, check that the chamber below is part of the compatible Pipelife 315mm system. Inspection chamber components of similar nominal sizes from different manufacturers should not automatically be assumed to be interchangeable. The
level invert chamber cover should also be selected with the intended surface and expected load in mind. Its
adjustable tilt manhole frame assists with surface alignment, while the sealing arrangement helps maintain the intended
sealed drainage access cover system.
