Application

The hatch liner repairs the sealing surface of a thief hatch base, giving the pressure gasket a smooth surface to seal to.

1. Clean

Clean base, all oil, particles, moisture, etc. must be removed from base surface.

2. Apply Adhesive

Apply adhesive to bottom groove of the hatch liner (We usually use Loctite 5900) and place it onto the base. Turn slightly and at the same time apply a little pressure.

3. Close & Lock

Close top and lock the hatch, this will help keep the hatch liner centered and have equal amount of pressure being pushed onto it.
