FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Below are some frequently asked questions that get fielded by our customer service staff. Take a look, the questions you have may just be answered below!

WILL THE POLYLOK SEPTIC TANK LID FIT DIRECTLY ON THE ADAPTER RING OR DO I NEED TO USE A RISER?

In most cases the lid will fit directly onto the adapter rings, with the exception of the 24'' Heavy Duty Lid. The 24'' Heavy Duty Lid is reinforced on the bottom. This reinforcement is actually taller than what the adapter ring is. Because of this, the 24'' Heavy Duty Lid will only fit on the adapter ring directly if your opening is at least 24'' in diameter. Any opening smaller than 24'' diameter and the lid will not fit. ALL other Polylok lids will attach directly to the adapter ring without the need for a riser.

CAN I CUT THE SEPTIC TANK RISER SYSTEM DOWN TO A SPECIFIC HEIGHT?

No. The Polylok riser system comes in 6'' and 12'' increments and it cannot be cut down to height. Cutting the riser will cause the lid to not secure properly to the cut down riser.

DO I BRING THE SEPTIC TANK RISER SYSTEM JUST BELOW, AT, OR ABOVE GRADE?

It is your own personal choice to bring the riser system to grade, above grade, or leave it just below grade. The riser system seals air tight and water tight, so there is no danger in bringing it to or above grade.

SHOULD I USE THE STANDARD OR THE HEAVY DUTY LID?

The standard lid is strong enough to handle foot traffic and weight up to a small riding lawn mower passing over it. If the riser system is in a high traffic area, or is going to be ran over on a regular basis by lawn equipment, we would recommend the heavy duty lid.

CAN THE POLYLOK SEPTIC TANK RISERS BE STACKED?

Yes. You can stack pretty much any combination of the Polylok Septic Tank Risers to acheive the desired height.

DO THE POLYLOK SEPTIC TANK RISERS AND LIDS COME WITH SCREWS?

Yes. The Polylok Septic Tank Risers come with screws to connect them to each other.

THE POLYLOK SEPTIC TANK RISER ADVANTAGE

There are many different types and styles of riser systems on the market today. The Polylok septic tank risers are simply the best your money can buy. The reasons are many, but here are the most important:

INTERNAL STRUCTURAL RIBS

The Polylok risers have structural ribs internally around each riser section which give them great strength and allow them to hold their shape with the pressure of soil being pushed against them once the hole is back filled. These internal structural ribs allow the outside of the riser to be smooth, this is important because of the freezing and thawing of the ground in many areas. When the ground freezes and thaws it expands and contracts and products with structural support on the outside of the riser can actually be lifted from the tank causing damage to the riser and the seal. The Polylok products will have no issues in frost areas because they are completely smooth on the outside!

LOW PROFILE RISER LIDS WITH HANDLES

The septic tank access lid on a riser system is one of the most important components, because it is what you see in your yard and also what you have to remove every time the system is pumped or maintained. The Polylok lids come with pre-installed handles that allow you to easily remove the lid any time you want to access the system. The lids are structurally supported on the bottom which also allows them to be relatively flat, instead of domed shaped like many other products on the market.

LARGE TANK ADAPTER RING

In order to put risers onto your septic tank, you need an adapter ring. Polylok has one of the largest adapter rings on the market allowing you to cover up to a 25’’ square opening or a 27’’ round opening. This ring accepts both 20’’ and 24’’ risers and gives you great flexibility no matter what size your opening may be.
