Vetus Altus D Shape Escape Hatch (ALTD520SL)

418 x 450mm Cut Out - CE Certified A2

The Altus range features a sturdy aluminium profile which is only 21 mm high.

Features:

• These hatches are CE classified: A2  -  approved for use  in any horizontal deck surface (not the hull)  or suitable for use in superstructure fitting
• These hatches are provided with carefully designed hatch adjusters, which are both stylish and easy to operate.
• They allow the lid to be held open at any angle through ninety degrees.
• Like other VETUS hatches, the Altus range can be opened from inside or outside the boat.
• They can also be left locked; either completely watertight or in a ventilation position.
• The frame profile is satin sheen anodized. It recesses 22 mm below the deck surface.
• The acrylic has a thickness of 10 mm and the colour is “dark smoke”.

Dimensions:

• External: 592 x 524mm
• Cut Out: 518 x 450mm

Handles:

VETUS hatch handles have a number of advantages.

• The hatch can be opened from either inside or outside.
• The hatch can be shut completely watertight, or secured with a small air gap to allow
• permanent ventilation.
• An internal locking mechanism ensures the hatch cannot be opened from outside when the boat is left unattended. This operates in both the closed or ventilation positions.
• The low external profile ensures that ropes, e.g. running rigging on sailing boats, cannot foul on the handles.

Options:

• HCM Hatch trims with mosquito screen:
• All VETUS hatches from the Altus, Magnus, Libero* and Planus ranges can now be supplied with an adjustable depth trim complete with mosquito screen.
• These white synthetic trims are designed to cover the aperture between the hatch and the headlining inside the boat. The depth of the flange can be easily cut to size, to make them suitable for any deck thickness.
• An integral and hinged mosquito screen provides complete protection against unwelcome insects.
• The screen can be easily removed if required to facilitate cleaning.
