Description
24" x 24" Fire-Rated Access Panel Insulated - Mud in Flange
Achieving a flawless drywall finish demands meticulousness, patience, and focus. BA-FRI-DF Fire-Rated Access Panel Insulated - Mud in Flange, tailored for fire-rated walls, optimizes the drywall hanging process.
Crafted from 16-gauge steel by Best Access Doors, it boasts a 2-hour fire rating, making it suitable for various commercial or residential projects. Its exposed, perforated flanges allow for easy taping and mudding over joints or drywall, resulting in a seamless finish where only the panel door remains visible.
Why Choose BA-FRI-DF?
- Simplifies Your Mudding Process: BA-FRI-DF's exposed flanges are perforated (beaded) to accept tape and drywall mudding compound for easier adhesion, precision placement, and a polished finish.
- Fire-Rated: BA-FRI-DF is a fire-rated access door that has achieved a fire rating of up to 2 hours on rated, vertical wall assemblies, certified to U.L. standards.
- Self-Latching: The BA-FRI-DF maintains a spring mechanism to ensure hands-free and hassle-free operation, in accordance with NFPA 80 standards.
- Installation Control: Best Access Doors has designed BA-FRI-DF to be installed during your drywall installation process, allowing greater control over exposed joints. The flanges also provide a guide when installing within existing structures.
- Concealed Finish: With perforated outer flanges, you can expect a virtually invisible finish with only the panel door exposed once you have fully installed the unit.
- Thermal Insulation: BA-FRI-DF contains mineral wool insulation, contributing to its fire-rating, while enhancing the thermal properties of your application.
- Helps Towards LEED V4 Credits: This access door will help obtain LEED certification, tax credits, and benefits eligibility.
Standard models arrive with a high-quality white powder coat primer that will blend in with drywall. However, if necessary, you can texture, wallpaper, or paint the panel door to suit your decor.
Where restricted access to internal components is necessary, you can substitute BA-FRI-DF's standard tool key-operated cam and latch (ring operated tool also included) for a;
- Handle operated slam latch
- Mortise preparation for cylinder (cylinder optional)
- Hex head slam latch
- Mortise deadbolt lock
