A multi-use adapter ring for converting the compatibility of an access opening of an underground on-site waste or drainage facility tank surface or component so as to receive a lower end of a riser component, in a tongue-and-groove type connection, to help achieve and maintain a vacuum tight, water-tight seal. The multi-use adapter ring has a first vertical cylindrical wall, a second vertical cylindrical wall having a height less than the first vertical cylindrical wall and spaced radially outwardly from the first vertical cylindrical wall, and a plurality of radially-extending ribs arranged between the first and second vertical cylindrical walls. An inner ledge is provided inwardly of the first vertical cylindrical wall. The first vertical cylindrical wall defines a male connection end to engage, in a substantially vacuum-tight manner, a female connection end of a riser component, such as a riser, a riser pan, or a riser cover.

I claim: 1. An adapter ring for converting compatibility of an exposed flat surface surrounding an access opening to be usable with riser components that are engageable in a substantially vacuum-tight manner, comprising: a substantially flat cylindrical bottom sealably securable to a flat surface surrounding an access opening; a first vertical cylindrical wall extending upward from the cylindrical bottom; a second vertical cylindrical wall extending upward from the cylindrical bottom and spaced radially outwardly from the first vertical cylindrical wall, said second vertical cylindrical wall having a height less than the height of the first vertical cylindrical wall; and a plurality of radially-extending ribs disposed between the first and second vertical cylindrical walls. 2. The adapter ring of claim 1, wherein the plurality of radially-extending ribs are no higher than the height of the second vertical cylindrical wall. 3. The adapter ring of claim 1, wherein the cylindrical bottom of the adapter ring has one or more grooves therein. 4. The adapter ring of claim 1, in combination with a riser component having a female connection end including an inverted, generally U-shaped cylindrical channel having an outer leg received on the plurality of radially-extending ribs. 5. The adapter ring of claim 4, wherein the riser component is selected from a group of a riser, a riser pan, and a riser cover. 6. The adapter ring of claim 1, wherein at least one of the radially-extending ribs is arranged in close proximity to an adjacent one of the radially-extending ribs, forming a gap therebetween to selectively securely receive a threaded fastener. 7. The adapter ring of claim 6, wherein the gap is about 5 mm. 8. The adapter ring of claim 1, further including an inner ledge formed inwardly of the first vertical cylindrical wall, and a top surface of the inner ledge being spaced from a top of the first vertical cylindrical wall. 9. The adapter ring of claim 8, in combination with a riser component having a female connection end including an inverted, generally U-shaped cylindrical channel having an inner leg received on the inner ledge. 10. The adapter ring and riser component combination of claim 9, wherein the generally U-shaped cylindrical channel further includes an outer leg received on the plurality of radially-extending ribs. 11. The adapter ring of claim 8, in combination with a riser component having a female connection end including an inverted, generally U-shaped cylindrical channel having an outer leg received on the plurality of radially-extending ribs. 12. In combination, a lid of a tank having an access opening therein and an exposed flat surface surrounding the access opening; an adapter ring having a flat bottom, a first vertical cylindrical wall extending up from the bottom, a second vertical cylindrical wall extending up from the bottom and spaced radially outward from the first vertical cylindrical wall, and a plurality of radially-extending ribs disposed between the first and second vertical cylindrical walls, the first vertical cylindrical wall having a greater height than the radially-extending ribs, said bottom of the adapter ring adhered to the exposed flat surface of the lid of the tank; and a riser component having a female connection end at a lower portion thereof, said female connection end receiving at least a portion of the first vertical cylindrical wall. 13. The combination of claim 12, and wherein the female connection end of the riser component includes an inverted, generally U-shaped cylindrical channel including an outer leg supported by the plurality of radially-extending ribs. 14. The combination of claim 12, and wherein the adapter ring includes an inner ledge extending from an inner surface of the first vertical cylindrical wall, and the female connection end of the riser component includes an inverted, generally U-shaped cylindrical channel including an inner leg supported by the inner ledge. 15. The combination of claim 12, wherein the riser component is a riser cover. 16. The combination of claim 12, wherein the riser component is a riser. 17. The combination of claim 16, in further combination with an additional riser component received on the riser. 18. The combination of claim 12, wherein the riser component is a riser pan. 19. The combination of claim 12, wherein the riser component is a lowermost riser component, and in further combination with at least one additional riser component received on the lowermost riser component. 20. An adapter ring for connecting a riser component to an exposed flat surface surrounding an access opening of a tank, the adapter ring comprising: a generally planar bottom; a first vertical cylindrical wall extending upwardly from the bottom, a top of the first cylindrical wall defining a male connection end of the adapter ring; a second vertical cylindrical wall extending upwardly from the bottom, the second vertical cylindrical wall having a height less than a height of the first vertical cylindrical wall; and a plurality of radially-extending ribs between the first and second vertical cylindrical walls.
