Oswald Supply

We recently cataloged over 90 years of boiler handhole plate information, a knowledge that has been passed down through four generations here at Oswald Supply. Handhole plate literature, original specs and hand written documentation from our files are now available to all of our customers on this user friendly search feature.

Oswald Supply has been acquiring original handhole plate patterns, designing replacement handhole plate patterns, and stocking original manufactured handhole plates, for almost a century.

Whether it is stocking plates for new and current applications, or stocking plates for older and obsolete applications, we are consistent in expanding our handhole plate inventory.

Much of our inventory is still being cataloged so please contact us if you do not see the product you are looking for on our site.

Troubleshooting your trash chute door:

Door Slams Shut: This problem is generally caused by a defective hydraulic door check or by a check that has dislodged from its mount

Door Does Not Self Close: If door remains open when handle is released, check for:
● broken or missing door stopper
● broken or dismounted hydraulic door check
● frozen latch/handle.

Door Only Partially Closes: This problem is usually caused by dirt or garbage build up on sides or around inside flange of the door, a damaged hinge or a broken or warped frame.

Loose Hopper Door: If a trash chute door is forced open beyond the stroke of the door check, or breaking the stopper. This excessive strain on the door may crack the surrounding wall and loosen the mounting screws. This may also dislodge the wall sleeve, causing the hopper door to loosen.

Other Common Defects: Other problems generally include:
Broken door handles,
Broken door panels or sections
Warped or twisted door panel
Loose nuts or bolts
