Just CAP That!™

the first compression molded, traffic-rated assembly that is Made-In-The-USA.

Composite CAP™s – The Future of Manhole Covers

Composite Access Products (CAP)™ manufactures composite covers and frames with compression molding. Unlike other composite options (RIM/RTM/SMC) CAP™s use a unique proprietary combination of continuous/long and short fibers for both load AND surface strength. CAP™ covers pass the AASHTO M 306 Proof Load test requirements for American highways with the rating of HS-25. CAP™ is the only US manufacturer to mold inhouse – rather than outsource or import – a composite manhole cover with a state DOT approval letter for use “within roadway.” And…no speed limit restriction!

US Made? Do Your Due Diligence!

CAP™s are Made In The USA and proudly announce it. If “Made In USA” is not clearly on the cover top then the cover is not American -most likely Chinese. Have you audited suppliers-and their suppliers-complying to the new Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA)? Complying to Build America Buy America Act (BABA)? Country of Origin laws (19 U.S. Code § 1304 (e)? Where is your municipality putting US tax dollars?

I&I causing SSOs? Use CAP™’s Watertight Cover (0.00 gpm!).

CAP™’s composite cover and frame mate precisely, are gasketed, and bolted for optimum seal. And because CAP™’s do not corrode or stick, this tight fit won’t cause an opening problem. Third-party validated by a major US utility, CAP™ has the “best by far” watertight cover.
