Description
Article no.: BFR-2412
The Freeman Marine Model 24K (2412 Series) is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade round deck hatch featuring an expansive 24-inch (610 mm) clear opening and field-proven knife-edge sealing technology. As the trusted worldwide standard for commercial shipping, offshore platforms, and workboats, knife-edge hatches utilize a machined coaming knife edge that concentrates closure force into a high-pressure seal against the cover's hollow gasket. This ensures 100% watertight and weathertight reliability under heavy sea spray and high hydrostatic heads.
With its full 610 mm clear passage, the Model 24K is ideally proportioned for emergency escape hatches, crew access, and equipment handling. The lift-out cover plate can be lifted away entirely, leaving the opening completely unobstructed. Because the resilient gasket is housed within the cover plate, it remains fully shielded from damage while personnel and cargo move across the open coaming.
Key Features & Benefits:
- 24" (610 mm) clear opening – full-sized manhole and emergency escape hatch dimension.
- Lift-out cover plate – entirely removable for unobstructed entry, exit, and machinery passage.
- Knife-edge sealing – maximum contact pressure for extreme open-ocean reliability.
- Recessed gasket in cover – protected against impact, dropped objects, and heavy wear.
- Rugged cast marine-grade aluminum construction with stainless steel dogging mechanisms.
- 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: 2412-0002)
- Complete unit with steel deck ring (Part No: 2412-0003)
- Complete unit with stainless steel deck ring (Part No: 2412-0005)
- Cover plate assembly only, without deck ring (Part No: 2412-1001)
