Polylok 24" Septic Tank Riser Lid Model PL-24RC

Key Features and Benefits

• Standard Design with Recessed Handles — Features two built-in recessed handles for easy, tool-free removal during inspections, pumping, or maintenance.
• Factory-Installed Gasket — Ensures a reliable watertight and airtight seal right out of the box—no additional sealant required between lid and riser (though butyl tape can be added for extra assurance in demanding conditions).
• Skid-Resistant Surface — Improves safety and traction in wet or grassy areas.
• Secure Installation — Includes stainless steel screws to lock the lid firmly in place, deterring unauthorized access or accidental displacement.
• Durable Load Capacity — Rated for up to 500 lbs pedestrian/light equipment load; passed static load testing up to 2,500 lbs—suitable for normal residential traffic, including foot traffic or occasional crossing by a riding lawn mower or small garden tractor (when properly installed and backfilled).
• UV & Weather Resistance — Top-tier UV protection prevents brittleness and maintains structural integrity in all climates.
• Lightweight Yet Tough — Easier to handle than concrete lids, while providing excellent strength and longevity.
• Made in the USA — Trusted Polylok quality from a leader in septic and wastewater solutions.

Note: This is the standard lid with handles. For below-grade installations, high-traffic areas, or heavier loads, consider the Polylok heavy-duty flat lid (no handles, higher reinforcement, tested up to 5,000 lbs—sold separately).

Easy Installation

1. Ensure your Polylok riser stack reaches the desired height (using compatible risers and adapter rings).
2. Place the lid on top of the uppermost riser section—align properly for a snug fit.
3. Secure with the provided screws (use an alternating pattern for even pressure).
4. Backfill around the riser system carefully to grade level, avoiding direct pressure on the lid during compaction.

This lid completes your riser system, eliminating the need for digging during service calls and providing a clean, low-profile access point that blends into your yard.
