Galvanized Deck Ring for 18" T-Handle Flush Manhole (Model #TH430-DR-GL)

The Model #TH430-DR-GL is a heavy-duty, structural galvanized deck ring engineered as the primary matching mounting frame for 18" quick-acting T-handle flush manholes. Fabricated from high-grade carbon steel and subjected to a rigorous hot-dip galvanization process, this component provides a robust, tapered structural coaming seat that seals flush-deck handle assemblies. Featuring a specialized step-profile thickness designed to withstand extreme shear loads and vertical compression, it ensures an unyielding, watertight interface that prevents environmental degradation and deck-plate deformation in severe marine environments.

Key Features

  • Hot-Dip Galvanized Corrosion Protection: Delivers an ultra-thick zinc layer that guards against abrasive wear, saltwater oxidation, and deep-pitting corrosion over extended service lifecycles.
  • Tapered Structural Profile Thickness: Transitions from a 1-1/8" top edge down to a heavy-duty 1-3/8" bottom edge to optimally distribute heavy deck cargo loads into the hull framing.
  • Structural Weld-In Geometry: Engineered with a substantial 20" outer diameter for seamless, full-penetration welding directly into existing steel deck plates.
  • Flush-Fitting Operational Profile: Provides a clean 18" inside diameter opening that installs flush with the surrounding deck plate to prevent catch-points for heavy cargo, nets, lines, or vessel vehicular traffic.
