Description
36" x 36" BA-FRI-SS Fire-Rated Insulated Access Panel in Stainless Steel
Building maintenance teams need to access important systems behind fire-rated walls and ceilings. However, finding access doors and panels that won't compromise the wall or ceiling's fire rating while providing insulation is challenging. Standard access panels often lack the necessary fire rating certification or thermal properties for these specialized applications.
The 36" x 36" BA-FRI-SS Fire-Rated Insulated Access Panel in Stainless Steel solves both problems simultaneously. This stainless steel panel meets stringent UL and NFPA requirements for wall and ceiling installations while providing excellent thermal insulation. Its durable construction and versatile application are ideal for projects requiring high-performance access solutions in fire-rated assemblies.
Why Should You Use the 36" x 36" BA-FRI-SS?
- Meets Strict Fire Codes: This panel has been tested and certified for 3 hours in walls (UL 10B, NFPA 252, CAN/ULC S104) and up to 3 hours in ceilings (ASTM E119, CAN/ULC S101). This means your building stays up to code without any headaches.
- Provides Superior Insulation: Equipped with 2" thick mineral wool insulation, the BA-FRI-SS minimizes heat transfer through the access panel, maintaining temperature control in sensitive environments.
- Delivers Exceptional Durability: It's made with a 20-gauge stainless steel door and 16-gauge stainless steel frame, providing exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. It can handle tough conditions in kitchens, hospitals, or industrial settings without deteriorating.
- Offers Convenient Access: The design includes two different latches: a tool-key-operated slam latch and a ring-operated slam latch. Both close securely when you shut the door, giving you flexibility without compromising performance.
- Features Premium Finish: The panel features a brushed stainless steel finish. It looks clean and modern, ideal for high-end commercial and industrial buildings where appearance matters as much as function.
