Description
Europa Access Hatch Grey 470 x 515mm
Europa Access Hatches are low-profile, injection-moulded, UV-stabilised plastic hatches designed for installation on any internal or external flat surface.
- The reinforced lid has a non-skid surface.
- The lid hinges through 180 degrees and completely covers the mounting flange, concealing the fastenings and deflecting water away from the hatch seal.
- The seal ensures weatherproofing when the hatch is mounted on vertical surfaces.
- Contoured handles provide a positive twist-lock action and easy lift grip.
- The protrusion above deck is only 17 millimetres, and the intrusion is 20 millimetres.
- Screw holes are 5 millimetres countersunk.
- The hatches are available in a choice of white or grey, with or without a key security lock.
Warning: Ensure the hatch is installed on a truly flat surface to maintain the weatherproof seal and prevent leaks.
Boat Hut Insight
While the sleek, low-profile design of the Europa Access Hatch is excellent for aesthetics and water deflection, consider that the 17 millimetres protrusion might still catch on loose ropes or gear in tight spaces. For boaters who frequently move around the deck, this small detail can mean the difference between a smooth walk and a stubbed toe. Also, opting for the key security lock version can be a smart move if your hatch provides access to valuable equipment or storage, adding an extra layer of peace of mind when docked or unattended.
Tip: Regularly check the hatch seal for wear and clean the non-skid surface to maintain safety and weatherproofing, especially after heavy exposure to saltwater.
