Hatch #206
Raised Water-Tight with Drop Bolts, Round
Hatches can be made from the following materials:
• A36 mild (carbon) steel with these finishes:
- Shop cleaned (SP3) and red-oxide primed. This is our standard finish.
- Sandblasted to white metal (SP10) and primed with an inorganic zinc primer. Cathacoat 302 (also known as Devoe 302) is the primary inorganic zinc primer we use. This is a premium finish available at an additional cost.
- Specialized paint / primer finishes are available at an additional cost. Custom paints may significantly increase the product price, since the paint systems cannot be re-used on other jobs.
- Galvanizing is another premium finish available at an additional cost. This finish option also adds at least two weeks to the lead time.
