Portholes PL, PM, PW, PX, PZ
Draw the hole to be cut out using the porthole frame, for the main dimensions, see page 14 to18.
Cut the hole in the ship by sawing in polyester, aluminium or wood, or by acetylene cutting for
steel.
Remove all burrs carefully and smooth the edges.
These portholes have a clamp profile; fixing holes in the side of the ship are NOT necessary.
Apply a sufficient amount of sealant to ensure a good seal, see drawing 1, page 19.
Position the hatch in the hole.
Fixing Screws:
Use M4 screws in accordance with DIN965 (ISO7046) of DIN966 (ISO7047). Choose a screw length
related to the wall thickness, see Table in Drawing 1. D= Clamp Reach, L= Screw Length.
Fit screws and tighten securely.
