Description
Article no.: BFR-2426
The Freeman Marine Model 3030K (2426 Series) is a heavy-duty, high-capacity square deck hatch featuring an expansive 30" x 30" (762 x 762 mm) clear opening and time-tested knife-edge sealing technology. Engineered for demanding commercial marine environments, it provides generous clearance for machinery access, cargo handling, and emergency egress while maintaining a flush, trip-free deck profile.
Built with Freeman's commercial knife-edge sealing mechanism, a raised coaming knife edge embeds firmly into a resilient hollow neoprene seal housed inside the cover plate. This design concentrates dogging pressure along the knife edge to ensure 100% weathertight and watertight integrity under heavy breaking seas and severe hydrostatic heads. To withstand high mechanical stress across this large format, the Model 3030K is equipped with a heavy-duty stainless steel dogging mechanism. The fully removable lift-out cover plate provides completely unobstructed overhead access.
Key Features & Benefits:
- 30" x 30" (762 x 762 mm) clear opening – generous square aperture for machinery maintenance and cargo transfer.
- Lift-out cover plate – removes completely for unhindered entry, exit, and rigging access.
- Knife-edge seal – delivers superior contact pressure and watertight reliability in extreme conditions.
- Heavy-duty stainless steel dogging mechanism – maximum structural strength and corrosion resistance.
- Recessed gasket – protected within the cover plate against abrasion and impacts when open.
- Rugged cast marine-grade aluminum cover plate engineered for heavy deck loads.
- 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: 2426-0006)
- Complete unit with steel deck ring (Part No: 2426-0007)
- Complete unit with stainless steel deck ring (Part No: 2426-0009)
