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.
Materials required for installation -
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.
