The sump pump cover arrived just as shown. Nice molding and thick walls. Everything fit together well. Following another reviewer, thank you, I used a reasonable amount of silicone seal on all the pre-installed plastic nuts and let it set up. Also put a small amount of silicone grease, or you could use Vaseline, on the stainless bolts which allowed then to screw in with very little force and none of the nuts fell off. My cement floor wasn't perfectly level but again, a good layer of silicone seal, almost two tubes, allowed for a good seal. 1/4 inch by 1 1/4 Tap-Cons with stainless fender washers, you need 12, were used to anchor it to the floor. My sump pump discharge pipe is sch 40 1 1/2 inch. The included seal worked great. The threaded fitting for the radon pipe connection is for 3-inch sch 40 threaded pipe adapter. If you have 4-inch pipe, you could use an adapter which for an inch or so, wouldn't slow down the flow very much. If they provided a 4-inch adapter, that would make this cover perfect. I put the provided lid bolts and washers through the lid while upside down resting on a flat surface to hold them in and applied the lid rubber seal over the bolts. After turning the lid over to mount, the seal stayed in place and the lid was easily bolted down. The supplied rubber grommet allows the sump pump wire to seal well and I added another small hole for the wire to my sump warning switch. There are several other sections in the grommet if you run another wire for another pump or something else. Pulling out this grommet from the lid will allow easy removal of the wires when you need to remove the lid for pump replacement. The added viewing window is a plus so you can see what is going on under the lid. This is a good sump pump cover which allows for the needed disassembly when sump pump service is needed. I've seen some covers that just have a plate with tons of silicone which would make disassembly a nightmare. I should have installed this cover years ago.

Great sturdy and quality made product. Great option to cover a sump pump pit. Used this and a tjernlund radon fan to bring my basements radon readings down below 1. Straight forward install and very happy with the quality.

Super high quality. Very rigid and comes with absolutly everything you need to make it work with the exceptions on fasteners for the base. I used 1/4" anchors from Amazon and they worked great. I also used a radon caulk that I bought at Home Depot to seal the base at the floor. It comes wiith all seals and adaptors and very comprehensive direction. Even come with a jig for locating side openings. It realy is a great piece.

This manufacturer puts out a nice product to seal off radon emissions from a sump pump pit. Pros: - Sturdy material yet flexible for uneven floors. - Fits well over a typical pit and can be adjusted for various pump positions in the pit. - Can buy additional cord grommets for 2 and 3 cord systems such as with backup pump systems. - Comes with a variety of covers and plates for various pipe sizes. - Can be set up to passively vent the pit or seal off completely the pit. Cons - The gasket is the weakest component that seals the lid to the cover. It is flimsy, somewhat undersized, and difficult to install correctly. - The plastic nuts that accept the bolts will fall out as you install the lid, requiring you to start over. Tips: - Glue the plastic nuts in with silicon caulk and let cure before attempting lid install. Silicon allows you to remove a nut if it strips out and replace. - Glue the gasket with silicon caulk also to try and keep it in position. - Before drilling cover holes into concrete, to a test install with full pump setup. The design offsets of the holes allows you to rotate the cover and lid in various positions to accommodate the pump discharge pipe. Be sure to align the lid holes with the cover holes before drilling. - Seal the pipes and lid with black flexible stay-soft putty. I used some from Eastwood Paints I had left over from a car project. This gives you a tight seal and easy removal later if needed. Plumber's putty probably also works. - I used plain ole 100% silicon clear caulk to seal the cover to the concrete floor, applied generously. I used two regular caulk tubes. - I used Tapcon screws to hold cover down to floor and hammer drill for holes. I avoid off-brand screws as if they break off, it is a pain to get out. I've never had a Tapcon shear off.

I've had mine installed for months now. Still going strong. I would recommend anybody to grind their concrete floor prior to siliconing it and screwing it to the floor. Excellent product!!

This sump cover fit exactly as it stated. Install was a breeze. Took care of the radon issue.

This sump cover definitely does a great job of solving the issue of sealing off your drain tile crock for radon mitigation. Lid is large enough to adjust location over crock if needed. Well made and great design with stainless steel hardware. Easy assembly. The plexiglass window is nice to have as it makes easy checking of sump levels and pump operation. The only con, is the installation instructions. As others have mentioned, the printing is not the clearest. Problem solved by going to their website and printing off the instructions. After installing, my radon levels went down to a .5 after starting at a 9. Highly recommend.

The cover is very solid and looks to be customizable for different situations.

Had this cover installed by a plumber 3 weeks ago, and it works great. We also attached a fan to move radon out. In the sump room the monitor registered between 300-400 bq/m3 before installation. 😀With this cover and fan it fluctuates now between 5-20 bq/m3. Wish I’d had this installed years ago.

Great quality

The radon sump cover works well to seal the sump

I have installed this about two weeks ago and it has already reduced the radon in my home. I am hooking up some schedule 40 PVC pipe to the 3" threaded adapter plate this weekend and then using a radon fan outside of my house to vent my foundation. I like this so far and if I remember I will update this review with the before and after affects of the radon reduction once the system is installed. Installing this cover requires the use of 1/4" tapcon screws with a 3/8 tapcon concrete drill bit. I also sealed about where the cover meets the concrete floor with silicon. Installation was simple and easy, it just took about two hours to make it look nice and fit perfectly. This cover is also really strong, but I would not recommend standing on it nor piling anything on top of it.
