Secure, Accessible, and Built to Last: Pittsburgh Pipe’s Handhole Solutions
At Pittsburgh Pipe, we know reliable underground access is essential to keeping your conduit systems running safely and efficiently. That’s why we supply high-performance, American-made handholes built for telecom, fiber, and electrical installations. These enclosures serve as critical access points, offering fast, easy reach for splicing, inspections, and ongoing maintenance. Whether you’re building a fiber backbone or expanding utility infrastructure, our handholes deliver the strength, safety, and accessibility your network demands.
Handholes Engineered for Utility and Built Around Your Needs
We stock handholes in a variety of materials and sizes to suit your site-specific needs. From polymer concrete and fiberglass to steel-reinforced options, each unit is engineered to resist corrosion, pressure, and shifting soil conditions. The lightweight design of our polymer models allows for easy handling and fast installation, while still delivering the heavy-duty protection you need in harsh environments.
Polymer Concrete Handholes
Our polymer concrete handholes are ideal for telecommunications, CATV, DOT, utility, and water applications in sidewalks and driveways. These boxes provide excellent environmental resistance, standing up to UV, snow, rain, herbicides, and chemicals. Rated from Tier 15 to Tier 22, they offer high compressive strength in a lighter weight than traditional precast concrete.
Each unit includes a stainless-steel lifting pin, optional locking hardware, and customizable logo capabilities for easy access and visual branding. They’re the perfect solution when you need rugged, corrosion-resistant performance that installs fast and lasts long.
Fiberglass Handholes
Pittsburgh Pipe’s fiberglass handholes combine a reinforced FRP body with a polymer concrete ring and cover, offering load ratings of 10K and 20K. These lightweight boxes are easy to install, even by a single crew member, and are ideal for telecom builds, network upgrades, and utility access points. Each unit includes standard or lockable hardware and stainless-steel lifting pins for secure, convenient access.
FRP models offer a strong, cost-effective choice for fast-paced crews who value efficiency without sacrificing performance. Like our polymer boxes, fiberglass units can be customized with standard or branded lids.
Underground Electrical Handholes
Underground electrical handholes from Pittsburgh Pipe provide safe and convenient access for wiring, junctions, and service points. Smaller than traditional manholes and designed for reach-in service only, these boxes simplify repairs and upgrades without sacrificing protection. They’re perfect for environments where personnel entry is not required, offering safety and efficiency.
Custom-Sized Handholes
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our handholes can be manufactured to fit the exact dimensions your project demands. Need a unique lid, duct entrance, or structural upgrade? Our in-house experts will fabricate and deliver a solution that meets your specs, reduces job site labor, and keeps you ahead of schedule.
