VETUS MAGNUS Escape Hatch - OD 22-3/16" x 22-3/16"

The VETUS MAGNUS Escape Hatch is a critical safety and access component designed for vessel owners who demand reliable emergency egress and crew ventilation. Measuring 22-3/16" x 22-3/16", this hatch serves dual purposes: it provides a compliant secondary exit route during emergencies and facilitates essential airflow and natural light to engine compartments, cabins, and berthing areas.

Built by VETUS, a trusted name in marine engineering, this escape hatch is engineered to meet demanding offshore and coastal boating standards where weight savings and corrosion resistance are non-negotiable. This hatch features a robust construction optimized for the marine environment, with the model designation MAG5151SL indicating stainless-steel hardware and components that resist saltwater degradation. The hinged mechanism allows full 90-degree opening for unobstructed access, while the compression gasket creates a watertight seal when closed, protecting interior spaces during rough seas or heavy rain.

Its lightweight design—1 lb—reduces top-weight without compromising security or weather-sealing performance, making it ideal for various types of vessels. The generous 22-3/16" square opening accommodates crew passage while maintaining structural integrity of deck or cabin sole framing. This escape hatch is essential for ensuring safety and compliance in marine environments.
