Pneumatic Manhole Seal

Manhole Shields — 2730 & 3336 Series

Inflate. Seal. No Clamps Needed.

Pelsue Aluminum Manhole Shields are temporary pneumatic seals that prevent groundwater from entering open manholes. Inflate the tube to 5–10 lbs. of air or nitrogen to form a water-tight seal — no clamps, no sealing compounds, no tools. The reversible Series 2730 fits both 27" and 30" communications manhole openings. The 3336 fits many electric utility manholes at 33" and 36". All aluminum fabrication.

Overhead Worker Protection

Pel Protector — 2760

Overhead Protection. Zero Obstruction.

Workers in manholes face a hazard the shield alone doesn't address: objects falling in from above. The Pel Protector is a lightweight molded fiberglass screen that mounts directly on the manhole shield, creating a protective overhead barrier without blocking ventilation or emergency egress. Strong enough to hold the weight of an average adult. Easy enough to remove in seconds.
