What are document ports?

A document port, sometimes referred to as a record-holder is essentially an access port with an attached hollow cartridge in which records and documents may be safely and securely stored inside a container but separate from the contents.

Document ports are used to protect the paperwork associated with the item(s) inside the container. They are also used for many other small item storage needs associated with containers.

Document Port Sizing & Specifications

Our document ports come in two different diameters and two standard lengths. While the diameters cannot be changed, we can customize the length to your specification.

  • Clear Opening Diameter: 1.69 in (43 mm) or 3.30 in (84 mm)
  • Records Holders Length: 8.69 in (221 mm) or 12 in (305 mm) or 14 in (356 mm)
  • Mounting Hole Diameter: 2.015 in (51 mm) or 4.015 in (102 mm)

The housing, nut, and tube are made of aluminum and the cover is made of stainless steel. The aluminum components are conversion coated and the stainless steel components are passivated.

Benefits Of Using Document Ports

The primary benefit of our document ports is that they provide an easy way of keeping together important documents associated with container contents. Some other benefits of AGM’s document ports include:

  • An O-ring seal of nitrile rubber for both the cover and the environmental seal (flange gasket).
  • A replacement cover that is fastened to the port by means of a lanyard so it is hard to lose them.
  • Tamper-proof design with holes for safety wires that can also be used to attach a seal to indicate if the holder has been opened.
