Description
20" x 20" BA-F2 Removable Access Panel With Detachable Hatch and Drywall Insert
Construction professionals and building occupants need access to plumbing, electrical, and other systems hidden behind walls and ceilings for maintenance and repair.
Unfortunately, some access panels remain visible, ruining the look of otherwise seamless surfaces. Standard solutions can also be difficult to install, may not blend with surrounding surfaces, or lack the flexibility needed for various applications.
The 20" x 20" BA-F2 Removable Access Panel with Detachable Hatch and Drywall Insert offers an innovative solution to these challenges. Its fully detachable hatch design allows complete removal, giving users plenty of room to work.
Meanwhile, the drywall inlay creates a virtually invisible installation that keeps walls and ceilings looking smooth and seamless. These features make it perfect for projects that require easy installation, convenient access, and a clean look in non-rated applications.
Why Should You Use the 20" x 20" BA-F2?
- Provides Full Opening Access: Unlike hinged panels that stay attached, the BA-F2 features a completely removable door that comes off entirely. It offers unrestricted access to the entire wall or ceiling opening when working on plumbing, electrical, or other systems.
- Creates an Invisible Finish: The panel accommodates either 1/2" or 5/8" drywall inserts with only a 1/16" reveal visible between the frame and door. Once finished and painted, the access door virtually disappears into your wall.
- Operates With Hidden Hardware: It uses special pressure-sensitive touch latches that open with a simple push—no visible handles or knobs to spoil the clean look. For areas needing extra security, optional locks can be added.
- Works With Standard Drywall Thickness: The BA-F2 is available for walls or ceilings with either 1/2" or 5/8" drywall thickness. It is also available in moisture-resistant and mildew-resistant versions for bathrooms or cement board options for tiled areas.
- Uses Quality Materials: Like our other drywall access panels, the BA-F2 is constructed from high-grade aluminum with welded corners for long-lasting durability. It includes a safety cable that prevents the panel from falling during maintenance—no more worrying about doors dropping on your head!
