The covers in Ra’anana are usually made of metal

 

or concrete

 

, but there are also plastic covers (composite materials)

 

.
Their shapes include square

 

, round

 

, elliptical

 

, or rectangular

 

.
In many cases, when round covers are intended for pavements, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates the paving work around them

 

(these are in fact most of the square covers).

The covers in Ra’anana are not colored. A relatively large number of gold-coloured covers were found, mainly those produced by the manufacturer "Wolfman"

 

.

Covers intended for the Ra’anana Municipality usually bear the municipal emblem

 

or the inscription “Ra’anana Municipality”

 

.
Many covers are intended for the water corporation “Mei Ra’anana,” which serves the city

 

.

No covers intended for other cities (the “bug” category) were found in Ra’anana.

The function of each cover usually appears on it (sewage

 

, water

 

, electricity

 

, etc.), and therefore the number of covers in the “unknown” category

 

is relatively small.

The year of manufacture appears on many of the covers in Ra’anana

 

.

Typically, the cover designs in Ra’anana are not unique and correspond to the common styles of each manufacturer.

Manufacturers
The manufacturer’s name usually appears on the covers. Most of the covers are produced in Israel by several leading manufacturers: - Menashe Baruch

 

, Vulcan Foundries

 

, Gelem

 

, and others.

Standards
The cover standards include Israeli-specific standards: the Standards Institution of Israel mark

 

and Standard IS 489 (equivalent to the international EN124 standard)

 

.
In addition, the international EN124 standard

 

and various load classes (A50 - D400)

 

are also found.
