Abstract
A plastic septic tank has a body made by rotational molding or blow molding and at least one access opening in the top. A ring flange is structurally attached to the top of the body so the bore of the flange fits the access opening. A plastic ring flange has a flexural modulus which is greater than 100,000 psi and at least twice the flexural modulus of the plastic material of the tank body. An exemplary flange is made of a plastic material which includes 5-30 weight percent glass fibers, a significant portion of which are aligned with the plane of the flange upper surface.
