These Fluorescent orange shields weigh and cost less than metal shields, yet are more durable and user friendly when used.

• The tough polyethylene body eliminates rust and resists kinks and "out of round" that plagues metal shields

• These shields will stay "in round" and maintain a tight seal in a temperature range of -25° (-32 C) to 140° (60C)

• The 12 in. (305 mm) High shield fits 27 in. (686 mm) manhole frames on one side and 30 in. (762 mm) side also has a 26 in. (660 mm) size that works in manhole extension rings. These rings are sometimes present when a roadway has been repaved.

• The 8 in (203 mm) High shield fits both 27 in. (686 mm) and 30 in. (762 mm) frames. Its shorter height makes it easier to store on a vehicle.

• Each model is equipped with a wide band of high visibility Reflexite around the outside to increase visibility at night

• Also included is one high quality, puncture resistant inflatable sealing tube to keep surface water and mud out of the manhole vault. The tube can be removed and place on either end of the shield depending on the manhole vault being sealed.

NOTE: Prior to placing the shield in a manhole frame remove all debris such as stones, broken glass and sand that could damage the inflatable tube or adversely affect the usefulness of the shield.
