Pry-Out Smooth Deck Plate - 6" Black

These are Beckson's Pry-Out Deck Plates where the removable plate has a smooth finish.
Dimpled and diamond-pattern non-skid, as well as clear removable plate versions are also available - see Related Products, below.

Beckson Pry-Out Plates are designed to provide access without the use of tools.
They incorporate an extra-heavy-duty O-ring to assure a watertight seal.

Deck plates are used for storage access, inspection, and clean out for tanks and compartments, or just as a general access for shut-off valves or back- fastenings.
The clear center plate version permits observation of controls or gauges and visual inspection without the necessity of removing the plate.
NOTE — Pry-Out deck plates should not be used where rising internal pressure from solar warming or oil-canning may occur. Use Screw-Out deck plates in these situations.
