Manhole Ventilation Passthru (MVP)

Jan. 28, 2010

The Allegro Manhole Ventilation Passthru (MVP) (Patent Pending) is designed to maintain and redirect air flow with minimal restrictions into manholes, sewers, and tanks. The Allegro MVP is the first manhole system that combines three components: a low-profile air vent, 90° elbow, and built-in mounting–all in one unit. Once placed into the manhole, the elbow fits underneath the lower crossbar on the guardrail. The MVP is stabilized by placing the manhole cover onto one of the flat channel corners.

 

This unit comes with a collapsible duct stored in a small storage bag that can be dropped down into the manhole with a quick release of the drawstring. The duct is collapsible but springs back into shape once the worker is through the opening and down into the manhole. The ducting is vinyl and polyester with PVC coating and is heat resistant up to 180°F.

 

The MVP is lightweight at 11 lb. and made of bright yellow, recyclable, low-density, high-impact polyethylene to withstand heavy use and temperature extremes. The complete unit is a low-profile assembly, easy to store and transport, and ships in one small carton.
