30" x 30" Fire-Rated Floor Hatch

30" x 30" Fire Rated Floor Hatch  
 
Maintaining fire safety in your buildings is paramount, but bulky access panels can disrupt your design aesthetic, with potential protrusions that may pose safety risks. Introducing the BA-FRFD 30" x 30" Fire Rated Floor Hatch – the access panel that seamlessly blends functionality with a sleek, modern look. 
 
The BA-FRFD goes beyond basic fire protection. Its innovative design offers a multitude of benefits for your next project, including: 

• Effortless Building Maintenance: The BA-FRFD provides a discreet access point for routine maintenance and inspections of building systems located beneath the floor (electrical wiring and panels, plumbing pipes and valves, HVAC ductwork and controls, fire sprinkler systems, data and communication lines, under-floor drainage systems.) 
  
  
• Strategic Firefighter Access: Strategically positioned BA-FRFD floor hatches can provide firefighters with safe and convenient entry points during emergencies (Locating fire origins, accessing concealed compartments, venting smoke and heat, and searching for occupants.) 
  
  
• Mechanical Equipment Reachability: The BA-FRFD grants easy access to mechanical equipment housed in basements, crawl spaces, or mechanical rooms (boilers and furnaces, water heaters, pumps and sump pits, air handlers and fan coils.) 
  
  
• Safeguarding Underground Utilities: The BA-FRFD offers a secure and fire-protected access point for reaching underground utilities in basements or designated access points (boilers and furnaces, water heaters, pumps and sump pits, air handlers and fan coils.)
