The ultimate manhole covers site

General


The manhole covers in Israel are typically made of metal or concrete. Their shape is usually round or square , although rectangular covers or elliptical (mainly water covers) can also be found.
In many cases, when round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates the paving work around the cover

The lids in Israel are not colored, there are a relatively large number of golden lids, especially those from the manufacturer "Wolfman" .
Often local authorities paint lids after they are manufactured (especially blue water lids ), but originally the lid was not colored.

In covers located mainly in large cities, the city’s emblem appears on the cover , usually when the municipality is the body ordering the cover.
The use of the city symbol leads to many situations called "bug" on the website, where in city X there is a cover belonging to city Y, for example a cover intended for Ramat Hasharon, but was placed in Zichron Yaakov .
This phenomenon is very common in Israel, it is not clear whether due to lack of care, or a desire to use the cover that is at hand. However, more than 5% of the various tariffs found on the site from Israel belong to this category.

There are also manhole covers intended for consumers who are not necessarily municipalities or local councils. These covers are not dependent on a particular city, and can be found throughout Israel. For example, tariffs for the Bezeq telecommunications company , for Israel Railways and more.

The designation of the cover usually appears on the covers (sewer , communication etc.), so the number of covers belonging to the "unknown" category is relatively small.

A significant portion of the manhole covers in Israel show the year of manufacture of the cover

Many manufacturers use molds that include slots for labels placed on the general template (such as the city emblem, city name, cover purpose, etc.). This becomes evident in cases where some of the labels are missing from the cover—either intentionally or due to wear. See cover , where the cover’s purpose is not indicated, compared to another cover made by the same manufacturer, where the purpose does appear .

Manufacturers
The manufacturer’s name is usually indicated on the cover, with most covers being manufactured in Israel by several leading manufacturers (Menashe Baruch , Gelem , Rokach Yosef & Sons and others.
It is rare to find caps manufactured in other countries, but they do exist, as can be seen from the list of manufacturers on this page (an example of a cap manufactured by the large cap manufacturer PAm - )
There are also collaborations between manufacturers in Israel and manufacturers in other countries, such as the cap made for the CityPass company that operates the Jerusalem light rail, made by the manufacturer ej, but the logo of the Israeli manufacturer "Menashe Baruch" also appears on the cap

Standards
The standards for the covers include standards unique to Israel (Standard mark of the Standards Institute of Israel , and the Israeli Standard 489 (equivalent to the international standard EN124) . In addition, the international standards EN124 and the various load standards (A50 - E600) . Additional standards appear mainly in covers not manufactured in Israel.
