Floor access doors shall be type “TH-WT” (gutterless) or “THG-WT” (gutter type) (WATERTIGHT, ODORTIGHT and GASTIGHT) as manufactured by Thompson Fabricating, LLC (Birmingham, AL). Door leaf shall be 1/4″ aluminum checkered plate reinforced with structural aluminum channels and shall be capable of withstanding a 4′- 10″ head with minimal deflection.

The door shall have a 316 stainless steel gas spring with integral hold open device which will assist in opening the door and shall lock automatically in the open position. The door shall open a minimum of 90 degrees. The aluminum extruded frame shall have a thickness not less than 1/4″ and shall incorporate a neoprene gasket that will reduce air leakage to less than 1 CFM per lineal foot of frame when the interior of the hatch is subjected to a 2 inch water column vacuum. For type “THG” doors the gutter frames shall be provided with a 1 1/2″ threaded drain coupling. All fasteners which penetrate into the “Dry” area of the hatch shall be sealed with “O” Ring Seals to prevent incidental water and gas leakage. The portion of the frame which is in contact with the concrete shall receive a protective bituminous coating.
