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.
