Abstract
A hinged hatch in a gas containment cover particularly for a sewage treatment tank has a slide bolt contained within a shaped channel of an extrusion of the hatch, positioned to engage the bolt at a mid-level position of the adjacent fixed beam or other member of the tank cover. The position of the bolt enables the hinged hatch to fully seal against a rubber-covered lip of the adjacent structural member, so that the bolt latch does not compromise integrity of the gas seal. As the bolt is slid into locking position it forces the hatch cover down more tightly against the gas seal.
