PVC Encapsulated Rungs

PVC Rungs also called water tank steps or sump steps are uniquely designed for underground water tanks, sewerage manholes & overhead water tanks. It is a replacement of conventional mild steel/cast iron steps.

The best feature of Rungs is that it provides superior resistance to all types of corrosive environment of sanitary sewers. It also provides a very tight grip for the safety of workers. Rungs are commonly used by civil contractors in underground/overhead water tanks, sewerage manhole, multistorey buildings and so many other water filling places.

 

PVC Rungs Installation

Materials required for installation -

  • Nylon hammer.
  • Marker pen and meter.
  • Any manhole step along with our Eco Pate or Pate Sugar range.
  • Graduated rule of the bubble level.
  • Drill bit for concrete or corrugated steel of 25 mm diameter.
  • Drill

Step 1

Based on the bubble level rule, we mark the ends where the rungs are to be installed. The distance will vary depending on the model.

Step 2

Repeat step 1 for each step. It is recommended to maintain a distance of 2350mm in between each step.

Step 3

Drill the concrete based on the markings. We drill 25mm in diameter to a depth of 850mm, making a perfect hole to fit the rungs. Make sure to drill accurately to avoid other consequences.

Step 4

Using the hammer we hit the rungs at the sweet spots until they got inserted correctly.

Step 5

Now the installation process is completed and it is ready to be used. If the installation is done accurately, rungs can withstand tensile forces greater than 800 kg.
