Septic Tank Man Cover

[iTRYer]

Hi any idea where to get this cover for my septic tank or where I can get a new seal for this one as its a bit pooey smell in garden as its not sealed down.

Crazy price man, will look at some industrial seals for old one.

Either, use some sort of silicone sealant, form a generous bead in the frame where the cover mates and push the cover down into it to make a seal, or Denso Tape might be an option. (Filthy stuff, wear gloves.)

If feeling ambitious, remove that cover and frame, (they're worth a few £ secondhand now as Klargester have stopped making them), and fit a 600mm x 600mm cover and cap both dip pipes.

Agh thanks, well it gets emptied every 2 years so maybe silicon frame sealant will be the cheapest method and to redo every empty...or outdoor duct or pvc tape to bond to the concrete floor around it. I think good idea to replace with 600mm but that will take a bit of time maybe next year...what are dip pipes?

The Two pipes under the tips of the diamond, one on the inlet other on the outlet, that drop into the tank, incoming/outgoing pipes join on a junction.
