They incorporate a self-aligning center and a innovative gasket to assure a watertight seal. Our clear center plates permit observation without the necessity of removing the center. Screw-out access plates should be used in areas where change in air pressure can occur.

High Torque Access Plates

Beckson screw-out access plates made their way in many different operating environments.  The customers loved the durability and watertight seal, but after high pressure conditions the center needed help to be opened.  Beckson designed this high torque center to overcome this problem.  You still have the clarity and toughness of the standard center, but with deeper finger holes and a full pry channel to help sealing and unsealing the unit.

Available in 6" I.D Models.
