• 304 Stainless Steel
• 316 Stainless Steel
Hatch cover features: (any material)
• 5/16” thick (for ABS Grade) or thicker if needed
• OPTIONAL: Hatch cover can be insulated with a 2” thick layer of ceramic fiber or mineral wool, or fiberglass insulation behind a 10ga panel of sheet metal
• Ceramic fiber or mineral wool are great for insulating for heat
• Fiberglass insulation is great for insulating for heat or cold
Coaming dimensions:
• 1/2” thick = Steel, Aluminum, or Stainless Steel
• Minimum coaming height: 6”
Corner radius:
• For Clear opening less than 30” x 30” = 3” radius ID
• For Clear opening more than 30” x 30” = 6” radius ID
Individual Dogs:

Spring Assist Hinge:
• 48” x 48” is the maximum cover size in A36 steel that will work safely with a spring assist hinge
• 60” x 60” is the maximum cover size in Aluminum that will work safely with a spring assist hinge
• 17-7 Stainless alloys are used for the spring wire. All hatches made after 2006 come with Stainless Steel springs. These alloys will experience some rust bloom, and will pull a magnet. The only steel alloy that will NOT rust or pull a magnet is 316 stainless.
• It is possible to put enough spring hinge assemblies with the proper tension to lift a larger hatch cover. However, once the cover is raised more than about 15 degrees, the springs will take over, ripping the hatch cover out of the hands of the person(s) opening the hatch, and will not stop until it hits the end of the safety chains. There is a potential to injure the people opening the hatch, and damage the spring-assist hinge mechanisms in the process.
Gaskets:
• 30 +/- 5 Durometer extruded neoprene, 3/4” x 1-1/4”

• Drawings and release letters are available for submission for classing agency review.
• It is the responsibility of the customer to verify which certification requirements (i.e. ABS, USCG, DNV, SOLAS) apply to their vessel, and to check with their local governing agency as to the requirements for certifications for all of the items quoted, based on the use for each item on the vessel, and the location of each item as installed on the vessel. Depending on the requirements of the governing agency, additional testing at the manufacturing plant may be required. A separate fee will be charged for any testing.
