The ultimate manhole covers site

General


Most covers in Greece are made of metal and are mainly rectangular , round or square
Many covers have the dimensions of the cover listed (e.g. 400X400 )

In Greece, there are usually no colored or golden lids.

The covers are usually not unique to a particular location, so the city symbol does not appear on them and the same cover can be found on the mainland and on the islands.
The purpose of the cover is also usually not listed, except for covers that state "ΣΤΕΓΑΝΟ 100%" = washing water .
Other covers whose purpose can be identified are covers used by telecommunications companies, or drain covers

Manufacturers
Many covers are made by the major Greek cover manufacturers: Delta Zita , IAS or Viofre .
There are also caps made by major international manufacturers, such as PAm , Norinco and others.

Standards
The international standard EN124 and the load standards B125 or D400 are also common among local manufacturers and of course among international manufacturers.
Sometimes when it comes to caps made by an international manufacturer, a standard mark appears that does not belong to Greece at all , and more.
