Description
Article no.: BFR-2443
The Freeman Marine Model 20-H (2443 Series) is a rugged, heavy-duty hinged round deck hatch featuring a 20-inch (508 mm) clear opening. Designed for true flush mounting, it integrates smoothly into the deck surface, preventing tripping hazards and eliminating standing water or debris accumulation around the coaming.
The heavy-duty integrated hinge keeps the cover securely attached to the ring when open, ensuring smooth and safe operation in heavy seas while preventing accidental loss or deck surface damage. Featuring Freeman's field-proven compression sealing technology, a resilient gasket fitted in the coaming groove seals tightly and 100% watertight against the flat machined underside of the cover plate. Unlike knife-edge hatches, compression seal hatches do not require external coaming drain tubes and resist impact damage during demanding deck operations.
Key Features & Benefits:
- 20" (508 mm) clear opening – spacious passage for crew access, tank inspection, and equipment handling.
- Hinged cover plate – securely retained during opening for operator safety and deck convenience.
- Compression seal design – clean coaming base without water traps or vulnerable sealing edges.
- Rugged cast marine-grade aluminum cover with stainless steel dogging components.
- Quick-acting dogging mechanism operated by Freeman deck key or handle.
- Available as a complete unit with weldable ring (aluminum, steel, or stainless steel) or as a replacement cover plate only.
Available Configurations (select above):
- Complete unit with aluminum deck ring (Part No: 2443-0002)
- Complete unit with steel deck ring (Part No: 2443-0003)
- Complete unit with stainless steel deck ring (Part No: 2443-0005)
