INTRODUCTION:
This product is used when quick and easy
access to a tank is desired. This product is
generally placed on digester covers or roofs
and is designed to be non-sparking and leak
tight.
A manhole cover must be carefully
maintained by a qualified technician.
Carefully read and understand this manual
before installing or attempting to repair a
manhole cover. roth Corporation offers
repair services.

SAFETY WARNINGS:
This section is an overview of safety
guidelines that should be followed during the
installation, operation and maintenance of
Groth Manhole Covers. To understand the
context of these instructions and warnings, it
is necessary to completely read and
understand the contents of this manual.
The purpose of a manhole cover is to allow
quick and easy access into a tank.
O NOT attempt to open the manhole cover
without first bleeding all pressure from the
system.
O NOT tamper with or modify equipment
from shipped condition. All equipment is
tested, as assembled, prior to shipment and
any modifications will create a potential safety
risk.
The manhole cover has been exposed to
process vapors while in service. Observe all
plant procedures and Material Safety ata
Sheets (MS S) for the products in the system
when inspecting, adjusting or servicing the
manhole cover. Take appropriate safety
precautions regarding eye protection,
respiration and skin contact.

INSPECTION AND STORAGE:
The manhole cover is carefully packaged to prevent damage or contamination during shipping.
Inspect all equipment when it is received; report any damage to the carrier immediately. The
manhole cover should be protected during handling and storage. Before installation, inspect the
unit for indications of physical damage. If these are observed, the manhole cover must be
disassembled, cleaned and repaired before installation.
INSTALLATION:
The Model 8200 is a device that must be handled carefully to ensure seat tightness.
The 8200manhole cover has a flat faced 150# ANSI flange drilling compatibility. Torque
guidelines are listed in Table 1. The manhole cover is NOT rated for full flange pressure and does
not require high bolting torque. Consult factory for special applications.
WARNING: The manhole cover can be damaged by the over-tightening the studs, uneven
torquing or by mounting on a tank nozzle that is not flat.
The standard Model 8200 manhole cover is furnished with a flat flange; the manhole cover should
be mounted on a flat faced 150# ANSI flange. It is recommended to use a full faced gasket to
avoid deflecting the flange. The connecting flanges must be flat within 0.015" and clean, free of
scratches, corrosion and tool marks.
1. Begin by inspecting the gasket; make sure that the material is suitable for service.
2. Lubricate all studs and nuts with an appropriate thread lubricant. If stainless steel fasteners are
used, select an anti-seize lubricant such as moly-disulfide.
3. Align the gasket with the bolt circle.
4. Set the manhole cover carefully on the nozzle; keep the gasket between the flanges. Install
the studs and tighten nuts hand tight.
5. Torque all fasteners to half the recommended value (see Table 1) in a staggered, alternating
pattern or follow appropriate Plant Maintenance guidelines and standards.

*Note: Torque values are based on a gasket factor m=3.5,
gasket factor y=2000 psi, maximum pressure = 2 psi.
6. Make sure that the flanges are not distorted and that the gasket is evenly compressed.
7. Make up the final torque and check that no further nut rotation occurs.

OPERATION:
1. For inspection or entry into the tank, release and disengage the handle and lift the manhole
cover to full open position. The weight of the cover will keep it open.
WARNING: O NOT attempt to open the manhole cover without first venting toxic or flammable
fumes or liquids from tank to a safe location to prevent personal injury or property damage.
2. To close the cover, lower slowly into seat, engage handle and tighten until a leak tight seal is
achieved (this occurs when the handle threads bottom out on the eye bolt threads).
WARNING: If the handle is over tightened damage to the manhole cover can occur. O NOT
tamper with or modify equipment from shipped condition. All equipment is tested, as assembled,
prior to shipment and any modifications will create a potential safety risk.
MAINTENANCE:
roth Corporation recommends that all service performed on a manhole cover be done at the
factory.
Refer to Fig. 1 on the next page, which illustrates a typical manhole cover when disassembling the
unit.
WARNING: Before disassembling the manhole cover carefully read and understand the Safety
Warnings listed on page 2.
1. Check the metal seating surfaces for pitting, corrosion or product build up. It is recommended
to replace the seal ring (#1). For a list of recommended spare parts see Table 2.
NOTE: Wipe the seating surface clean before proceeding.
2. Make sure that the manhole cover sits flat on the seat when the handle is tightened. The
handle should be tightened until a leak tight seal is achieved.
WARNING: When assembling a manhole cover do not adjust the center stud (#7). When
assembling the manhole arm do not add hardware between the handle (#5) and the arm (#9).
Adjustment may cause physical damage to components or prevent sealing.

2. Test the seat for leaks.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:
3. No visible leaks are acceptable.
4. Complete a Test Report indicating the peak pressure achieved while maintaining a leak tight
seal.
5. A copy of the Test Report shall be maintained with the Valve Maintenance Records.
