Fitting
N.B.: The highest permitted design category
and the highest permitted application is stated
on every porthole.
When fitting the porthole, take the following
into account:
- A porthole must always open inward.
- When fitted in area 1 on sailing or motor
ships within design category A or B, no part
of the porthole should protrude beyond the
hull.
- Only fit in a completely flat hull section!
The porthole will never be watertight when
closed if fitted in a curved surface!

Dust released when cutting and sanding
glass-fibre reinforced polyester is hazard-
ous to lungs and eyes. So always wear a
dust mask and goggles when working
with this material. Ventilate the working
area well.
The portholes from the standard range can be
built into a surface with a minimum thickness
of 2 mm and a maximum thickness of 18 mm.
On request, a porthole can be made suitable
for building into a surface with a minimum
thickness of 18 mm and a maximum thickness
of 25 mm.
• Draw the hole to be cut out using the port-
hole frame, for the main dimensions, see
page
14
to18.
• Cut the hole in the ship by sawing in poly-
ester, aluminium or wood, or by acetylene
cutting for steel.
