DF-505
DF-505 Flush Multi-Screw Oval Hatch is a flush-deck marine access hatch for shipping vessels. Unlike raised coaming hatches, this hatch sits completely level with the deck surface, eliminating protruding structures that may obstruct walking or cargo handling on ship decks.
It adopts an oval profile and multi-screw bolted fastening design. A full-face rubber gasket is fitted between the hatch cover and flange to achieve reliable watertight or oil-tight sealing. The multiple bolts distribute pressure evenly across the sealing surface, delivering stable sealing performance under tank pressure and marine loads.
This hatch is mainly used for inspection and maintenance access to ballast tanks, fuel oil tanks and other enclosed compartments where flush deck installation is required. Fabricated from carbon steel and finished with high-performance orange marine anti-corrosion coating, it provides strong resistance against salt spray and marine corrosion. Stainless steel material upgrade, customized dimensions and marine classification certificates can be supplied for newbuilding and ship repair bulk orders.

FAQ
A: DF-505 Flush Multi-Screw Oval Hatch is a flush-deck oval marine hatch cover. It uses multiple bolts to compress the sealing gasket, achieving watertight or oiltight sealing. It is installed flush with ship deck for tank inspection and maintenance access.
A: The flush hatch (DF-505) sits flat with deck surface with no protruding coaming, used for walkways and cargo decks. The raised watertight hatch has an elevated coaming to block deck water ingress, commonly used on tank tops exposed to seawater splashes.
A: Multiple bolts apply uniform compression on the full perimeter gasket. It provides excellent sealing stability under pressure and wave load, suitable for long-term marine service. It is more robust for high-pressure tank applications compared to toggle clamp quick-opening hatches.
A: Standard version is carbon steel with orange marine epoxy coating. For heavy saltwater or corrosive media, SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel is available. Gasket choices: NBR for oil, EPDM for water, silicone for high temperature.
A: Yes. CCS, ABS, BV certification can be issued for bulk shipyard orders. Please inform us of certificate requirements at the quotation stage.
A: Yes. We support custom oval length, width, plate thickness and flange size. Send your drawing or technical specifications for quotation.
A: Regularly inspect the rubber gasket for aging, cracks or damage. Check all bolts for looseness or corrosion. Clean flange sealing surface to remove dirt, rust and debris. Replace gasket periodically to maintain watertight integrity. Tighten bolts evenly following diagonal sequence during reinstallation. Never exceed rated working pressure.
A: Small trial orders are acceptable. Competitive bulk pricing for shipyards, marine chandlers and spare parts dealers. Lead time depends on quantity, material and certification requirements. Contact us for formal quotation.
The DF-274-5 2 DOG RAISED WATERTIGHT HATCH is a premium marine deck fitting engineered by HEE (Changshu HaiChuan Engineering & Equipment Co., Ltd.), a leading China-based manufacturer specializing in marine and offshore equipment. Designed to address the critical need for reliable water resistance in harsh marine environments, this hatch serves as a protective barrier for deck openings, preventing water ingress, dust accumulation, and corrosion that could damage internal components of vessels, offshore platforms, or port infrastructure.
