IMPORTANT DESIGN
FEATURE:
The Rubber Boot Connector is mounted in an integrally cast-in-place GU
BOOT BELL assembly which is
monolithically bonded to the interior manhole liner and extends to the
exterior profile of the precast concrete manhole. The monolithic, continuous
bell sleeve liner assembly prevents ground water infiltration between
the interface of the manhole liner and the precast concrete or around
cast-in-concrete mounted connector not in continuous bell sleeve assemblies.
