Patching and sealing materials for tarmac and for sealing the cable hole into the manhole 

 

Cable ties for securing cable coils 

 

Generator or other power source (for the hammer drill)

Tools and Equipment for Inside Manhole Antenna Installation 

Listed below are the tools and equipment required for the installation of an antenna inside the manhole 
structure: 

 

Cable ties are only needed when the antenna can be installed flat on the mounting bar or rung. 

 

Lag bolt, L-bracket and masonry drill bits for drilling through manhole wall, corbel, and other 
materials when there is no bar or rung from which to hang the antenna. 

Measuring Manhole Depth 

Measure and record the manhole depth, which is the distance from the rim of the manhole to the bottom of 
the invert.  Be sure to measure all the way to the invert, not just to the bench.   

 

Manhole Depth and Physical Offset Measurements 

 

Installing the Mounting Bar 

The Mounting Bar can be installed in a standard manhole frame that is between 21 inches (533 mm) and 28 
inches (711 mm). 

1.

 

Hang a large loop from the Mounting Bar tether behind the top rung of the manhole.
