Description
14" x 14" BA-FRN-PF Fire Rated Non Insulated Access Panel With Plaster Flange
Building codes mandate fire-rated walls and ceilings to prevent fire spread and contain blazes. Standard access panels can compromise these walls and ceilings, creating safety hazards. The 14" x 14" BA-FRN-PF Fire Rated Non Insulated Access Panel With Plaster Flange ensures compliance with building codes and prioritizes safety. It maintains functionality and easy access to utilities, preventing repair delays and safety risks.
The BA-FRN-PF fire-rated access panel is a reliable and user-friendly solution for accessing utilities hidden behind fire-rated walls and ceilings. It meets building code requirements with a 3-hour fire rating for walls and up to 3 hours in non-combustible ceilings.
The panel features a 16-gauge cold-rolled steel frame, a 20-gauge steel door, and fire-rated mineral wool insulation. It offers customization options and is NFPA compliant, contributing to LEED certification.
