Overview
The HIDE HAC26 Manhole & Access Cover Kit is a 26-inch square, inlay-ready lid designed for large service or inspection access points. It offers a finish that blends in with your surroundings by allowing your surface material to be inlaid for a nearly invisible lid. Built from marine-grade stainless steel with two depth options, it’s ideal for pedestrian-only areas where aesthetics and durability matter most.
