VAREC 42 Series
SAMPLING AND GAUGING HATCH COVER
The 42 Series is designed to provide quick access to tanks
for product gauging, temperature measurement and sampling.
Introduction
The VAREC 42 Series Hatch Covers are
installed on tanks to provide access for
gauging, temperature measurement or
sampling. The Hatch Covers are provided
with a lockdown device that allows for a
gas-tight seal up to 3 psig [20.7 kPa].

to prevent unauthorized tank access through
the hatch. In addition, the VAREC 42 Series
