Spare Parts for Freeman Marine Model 22 Round Deck Hatches (22" / 559 mm)

Welcome to Bövik Marin AB – authorized European supplier of genuine factory replacement parts for Freeman Marine Model 22 round cast deck hatches. Offering a generous 22-inch (559 mm) clear opening, Model 22 is widely specified as a heavy-duty personnel access closure and certified emergency escape hatch across commercial vessels, Coast Guard cutters, tugs, workboats, and high-speed passenger ferries.

Model 22 (Series 2408) utilizes Freeman's proven compression sealing design with a smooth coaming bed that allows decks to be washed down rapidly without debris traps. Mechanically, the hatch operates on Freeman's classic 4-arm dogging architecture: a central 4-hole cam hub synchronizes four 10.75-inch aluminum dog arms to deliver balanced, heavy-duty clamping force around the entire 559 mm clear opening in less than a quarter-turn. Below you will find all genuine mechanical components and gaskets required for routine maintenance and class survey overhauls.

Technical Guide: Service and Gasket Specification for Freeman Model 22 Round Hatches

Because Model 22 (Series 2408) is widely deployed as a vital machinery space access or emergency escape hatch, maintaining mechanical and sealing components to factory tolerances is essential. Model 22 provides rapid transit through an ample 559 mm opening and is designed for instantaneous egress from below using an inside escape handle as well as topside actuation via the flush T-handle.

1. Compression Gasket Replacement

  • Model 22 Compression Gasket (Part no. 9801-2008): Model 22 utilizes Freeman's solid continuous molded EPDM/neoprene compression ring. The coaming features a smooth raised seating spigot without an outer collection trough, making decks effortless to wash down. The same continuous ring fits whether your coaming is fabricated in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel.
  • Fitting Instructions: Clean the coaming groove thoroughly of dried salt and old adhesive before seating the new gasket. Seat the continuous molded ring evenly into the channel without stretching the elastomer.

2. Mechanical Geometry: 4-Arm Kinematics with 10.75" Dog Arms

Model 22 operates via Freeman's 4-hole marine aluminum cam hub (Part no. 0011-2002) and four 10.75-inch aluminum dog arms (273 mm, Part no. 0211-2010). During scheduled maintenance, inspect dog arms for straightness and renew nylon cam buttons (Part no. 0621-2004) to ensure smooth travel across the hub tracks.

3. Center Bushing & Spindle Sealing

Moisture weeping beneath the flush deck handle indicates worn spindle O-rings. Model 22 utilizes Freeman's heavy-duty Universal Center Bushing Overhaul Kit (Part no. 0031-2204), containing a marine-grade sleeve bushing, dual O-rings, and stainless roll pin. Always coat O-rings with waterproof marine grease during reassembly.
