The manhole covers in Petah Tikva are generally made of metal

 

or concrete

 

and are square

 

, round

 

, or rectangular

 

in shape.
When round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are usually surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates the paving work around them

 

(these are essentially all the square covers on the site).

No colored covers were found in Petah Tikva; the golden covers that were found were typically produced by the manufacturer "Wolfman"

 

.

Covers intended for the Petah Tikva Municipality usually bear the municipal emblem

 

. Many covers are intended for the city’s water corporation, Meitav

 

.

As in other cities in Israel, a relatively large number of covers intended for other cities were found (the "bug" category)

 

.

There are also covers intended for consumers that are not necessarily municipalities or local councils. These covers are not tied to a specific city and can be found throughout Israel. For example, covers for Netivei Israel

 

, Bezeq

 

, and others.

The cover’s purpose usually appears on it (water

 

, sewer

 

, drainage

 

, etc.), so the number of covers in the "unknown" category

 

is very small.

The year of manufacture appears on many of the manhole covers in Petah Tikva

 

.

In general, the design of the covers in Petah Tikva is not unique and corresponds to the typical designs of the manufacturer.

Manufacturers
The manufacturer’s name usually appears on the covers. Most of the covers are made in Israel by several major manufacturers – Menashe Baruch

 

, Gelem

 

, Vulcan Foundries

 

, and others.

Standards
The standards of the covers include standards unique to Israel (the Standards Institute of Israel mark

 

and Israeli Standard 489, which corresponds to the international EN124 standard

 

). In addition, the international EN124 standard

 

and the various load classifications (A50 - D400)

 

are also found.
