Beckson developed the first pry-out deck plate as an access cover to a permanently mounted pump. These pry-out plates were designed with an extra heavy O-ring to assure a watertight fit. Our certified watertight deck plates are manufactured with textured or smooth surfaces for different installation requirements. The diamond pattern and the pebble pattern deck plates take our deck plates a step further. The non-skid pattern extends across the center, eliminating the edge ring that traps dirt and debris. Rain and spray keep the non-skid surface clean. Pry-out plates should be installed only in areas where internal pressure (oil-canning) is not present.
