Quantum Plus Port Covers
HATCH COVER SYSTEMS
Our Quantum Plus Ports system (+3, +5, +6) are Quantum Plus covers with an additional 20” diameter round port added to each Plus cover. The +3, +5, and +6 terminology references the number of ports in the system. These round ports add additional flexibility to the system as an inspection port or booting flange for dust control or sanitary loading purposes. Also, these ports can be opened independently or in conjunction with the Plus covers.
The same unique shared bracketing design on the Quantum Plus systems is also used for the 20” diameter port covers, requiring no additional roof brackets for round port installation. The covers all operate on the same hinge pivot axis so covers can never bind or get caught in the wrong sequence of operation.
Our Quantum Plus Port covers are currently only offered in high profile aluminum for 24” wide troughs. In order to combat costs and theft of aluminum we do offer this as a combination system. This combination system uses aluminum Plus and port covers, with fiberglass intermediates.

Features
The Quantum Plus “Triple Seal” sealing system is the best sealing system in the industry. The transverse seal between covers or the “Triple Seal” begins with the seal created by the port cover overlap channel gasket sealing on the intermediate cover flange – Seal#1. secondly, this same gasket creates another seal across the flat of the intermediate cover – Seal#2. Lastly, an additional port cover flange gasket creates yet another seal across the flat of the intermediate cover – Seal#3. Our hollow chamber longitudinal gasket typically creates up to ¾ of an inch compression between the cover and coaming. Additionally, to virtually eliminate the gaps in the longitudinal trough gasket between adjacent covers, a mitered gasket joint configuration is utilized – (Q+Miter).
