A definite improvement over the cheap flat panel for house building

Very strong, easy to install. Came exactly as described. Never had a problem with some of the references to the screw capacity loosening reviews. The rubber grommet should be easier to install, but not a big deal. With all the tube size options you get, you are still tied to the base by the configuration of the primary and secondary tubes in relation to the viewing window. Obvious oversight by the manufacturer; Make the four "slices of the pie" modular like a viewport so the user can decideโ€ฆ

Reliable yet relentless in installation

Firstly, the dome is very durable and comes with a variety of fittings and gaskets to accommodate different pipe sizes. However, connectors have no degrees of freedom. So if the concrete anchors are slightly shifted horizontally or vertically, this is not easy to fix because the cover does not move and the sump is practically inaccessible. Cutouts for multiple ports would make installation much easier and faster. Even fewer pre-drilled holes would provide more flexibility. Either way, the cover

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Also reduces bloodthirsty clowns!

After buying a poorly maintained home, I was dismayed to wander down to the basement and find an old, rusty metal cover partially covering the sump. After hearing a kind of creepy clown's voice floating above all of us here and seeing the pit quickly fill with blood, I decided it was time to seal this puddle forever. into the pit. Not only did we see an almost complete elimination of the low radon levels we had in the first place, but the window allows me to tease disgusting little sewer clowns

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Pretty cool option to close the drainage pump well.

In our house there was an open well of a sump pump. We thought it would be a good idea to caulk it and add a pump. Installation was pretty easy, you need to buy concrete screws and sealant. Many extra caps are included in the package so you can choose the right one for whatever size pipe you run through the cap. Once the collar is secured to the base, screw on the cap using the parts provided. The total installation time was about an hour (not counting the sump pump piping). In general it looks

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Some defects

Not worth the trouble

Someone had the right idea but this product was more trouble than it was worth. The two pipe holes were the wrong size for standard drain pump pipe (2 inches) and standard 3 Schedule 40 PVC radon pipe. I had to cut a 4" hole with a hole saw and use a rubber washer as the pipe would not fit through the intended hole. The spare fittings provided did not help. The screws connecting the cover to the dome frame were unthreaded, and the Screw threads popped out of the dome frame when pressure wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • expensive

Good product, difficult to install but doable with patience

This manufacturer makes a good product for isolating radon emissions from a swamp. Pros: - Strong material yet flexible for uneven floors. - Fits good. above a typical pit and can be adjusted for different pump positions in the pit - Optional cable glands available for 2- and 3-cable systems, such as โ€ข be configured for passive pit ventilation or total pit sealing. Cons: The gasket is the weakest component sealing cap to cap. It's flimsy, slightly undersized, and difficult to install properlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Purity

The best radon protection on Amazon.

If you have a wet septic tank in your basement, even without a pump in it, you need to seal it airtight. Chances are, radon will be absorbed in your home. Clothes dryers, bathroom exhaust fans, range hoods, and even HVAC return air ducts are the culprits for this radon release. The first step to stopping radon infestation in the basement is to caulk those sumps as well as any pipes and power cords coming out of the sump - this cover does just that. It comes with all the caps, gaskets andโ€ฆ
