VETUS Planus Deck Hatch 230 x 230mm

Ọja Pariview

The VETUS Planus Deck Hatch is designed for emergency exit and ventilation on marine vessels. It features a robust anodized aluminum frame and a durable 10 mm thick 'smoked' acrylic panel. The hatch is engineered for reliability and ease of use, incorporating a special friction hinge that allows it to remain open at any angle up to 180 degrees.

VETUS ensures high quality by hand-polishing aluminum profiles before anodizing, which enhances aesthetics and prevents accumulation of salt or grease. The design also includes user-friendly opening handles and an internal locking mechanism for security.

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and watertight integrity of your VETUS Planus Deck Hatch. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified marine technician.

Atokọ iṣaju fifi sori ẹrọ:

• Verify the hatch dimensions (230 x 230mm) match the intended opening.
• Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound.
• Gather necessary tools: drill, sealant (marine grade), fasteners (stainless steel, appropriate length for deck thickness), measuring tape, pencil.

Awọn igbesẹ fifi sori ẹrọ:

1. Mura Ṣii silẹ: Carefully cut the deck opening to the exact dimensions required for the hatch frame. Ensure edges are smooth and free of debris.
2. Gbẹ Bamu: Place the hatch into the opening to confirm fit. Mark the positions for mounting holes.
3. Awọn iho iho: Drill pilot holes for the fasteners at the marked locations.
4. Waye Sealant: Apply a generous bead of marine-grade sealant around the perimeter of the deck opening and on the underside of the hatch frame where it will contact the deck.
5. Secure Hatch: Carefully place the hatch into the opening and secure it with the appropriate fasteners. Tighten fasteners evenly to ensure a consistent seal, but do not overtighten.
6. Clean Excess Sealant: Wipe away any excess sealant immediately after installation.

Note: The hatch is designed with a low external profile to prevent snagging of rigging lines. Ensure no obstructions are present around the installed hatch.

The VETUS Planus Deck Hatch offers versatile operation for ventilation and security.

Nsii ati Tiipa:

• From Inside or Outside: The hatch can be opened and closed using the handles located on the frame.
• Friction Hinge: The special friction hinge allows the hatch to be held open at any desired angle up to 180 degrees. Simply lift the hatch to the desired position, and it will remain there.

Ventilation and Watertight Closure:

• Watertight Closure: To achieve a completely watertight seal, ensure the hatch is fully closed and the handles are securely latched.
• Afẹfẹ ayeraye: For continuous airflow, the hatch can be fixed with a small air gap. Close the hatch until it is almost sealed, but leave a slight opening. The internal locking mechanism can still be engaged in this position.

Ilana Aabo:

• An internal locking mechanism is integrated to prevent the hatch from being opened from the outside when the boat is unattended.
• This locking feature functions in both the fully closed and the ventilation positions. Engage the internal lock by following the instructions provided on the hatch mechanism itself.

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VETUS Planus Deck Hatch.

Ninu:

• Férémù: Clean the anodized aluminum frame regularly with fresh water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. VETUS hand-polishes the aluminum to prevent salt and grease accumulation, but regular cleaning is still recommended.
• Acrylic Panel: Use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive plastic cleaner specifically designed for acrylics. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the panel.
• Awọn edidi: Inspect the rubber seals around the hatch for cracks, wear, or debris. Clean them with fresh water and a soft cloth. Applying a silicone-based lubricant designed for rubber seals can help maintain their flexibility and watertight integrity.

Hinge and Locking Mechanism:

• Periodically check the friction hinge for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, apply a small amount of marine-grade lubricant to the pivot points.
• Ensure the internal locking mechanism operates freely. Clean any dirt or salt buildup that might impede its function.
