Galvanized Dog Handle with Zerk (Model #DB-HNDL-ZGLV)

Galvanized Dog Handle with Zerk (Model #DB-HNDL-ZGLV)

The Model #DB-HNDL-ZGLV is a high-strength structural carbon steel replacement marine dog handle engineered for quick-acting perimeter securement on heavy-duty hatches, watertight doors, and multi-dog scuttles. Subjected to a rigorous hot-dip galvanization process, this rugged manual lever provides exceptional structural rigidity and high torque transmission under intense operating loads. It features an integrated grease zerk fitting threaded directly into the shaft stem, allowing shipboard maintenance crews to pump lubricant straight into the coaming sleeve bushing to ensure smooth, unbinding rotation while sealing out saltwater grit.

Key Features

  • Heavy-Duty Galvanized Protection: Thicker zinc-coated steel profile delivers extreme structural impact resistance and long-term protection against harsh saltwater rust.
  • Integrated Grease Zerk Fitting: Permits fast, routine pressure-lubrication of the internal sleeve bushing without requiring full hardware disassembly.
  • Active Grime Expulsion: Internal grease purging channels force out salt crust, sand, and seawater, eliminating mechanical binding on open commercial cargo decks.
