If one didn't know what "manhole" meant, it would probably suggest something nsfw ;) Terms involving "cavity" or "aperture" also seem open to misinterpretation.

  '(Utility/Sewer) access shaft' works just fine for me. We can call manhole covers 'AS covers' edit: I figure that them being referred to humourously as 'ass covers' will a) give the utility workers a bit of fun, and b) isn't really specifically gendered enough to be a problem
