Product Description
24" x 36" ADC-AW-APS Floodtight/Gastight Floor Door – Acudor
Reaching utility lines, wiring, plumbing, or other equipment located beneath the floor requires convenient entry points. However, those same openings become serious vulnerabilities during floods or when dealing with sewer gases and hazardous fumes.
Standard floor access doors can't seal against water when levels rise or prevent toxic gases from seeping into occupied spaces above. Even worse, they buckle under the weight of water, vehicles, or heavy equipment.
The 24" x 36" ADC-AW-APS Floodtight/Gastight Floor Door – Acudor handles extreme conditions that would destroy ordinary access doors. Hydrostatically tested to hold 25 feet of water for 10 minutes, this aluminum floor door creates a watertight seal that keeps floods out and gases in.
Its diamond plate surface supports up to 1,560 pounds per square foot, so vehicles and equipment can roll right over it without damage.
Why Should You Use the 24" x 36" ADC-AW-APS Floodtight/Gastight Floor Door?
- Tested Flood Protection: This floor door has been hydrostatically tested to withstand 25 feet of water head for 10 minutes under downward pressure. When closed, the door panel overlaps the frame and compresses the EPDM gasket, creating a continuous seal that keeps water where it belongs.
- Heavy-Duty Load Capacity: Vehicles, forklifts, and heavy equipment can cross safely without bending or damaging the panel. Its reinforced 1/4" aluminum diamond plate handles a live load of 1,560 pounds per square foot.
- Secure Concrete Installation: The 3/8" aluminum frame features 3/16" x 1 1/2" strap anchors welded all the way around for secure casting into concrete. Once the frame is cast into concrete, this floor door becomes a fixed part of the floor structure.
- Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Its type 316 stainless steel butt hinges, tamper-proof bolts, nuts, cam locks, and flush watertight handle stand up to moisture, chemicals, and harsh environments without rusting or seizing.
- Easy Operation With Safety Features: The automatic hold-open arm with red vinyl grip locks the door at 90 degrees, keeping it safely open when in use and providing users with full control when closing. Optional lift assist is available for larger sizes.
