Description
8" x 8" BA-FRN-DF Fire-Rated Access Panel Uninsulated with Mud In Flange
Fire-rated access solutions are essential for building safety, utility protection, and compliance with fire safety regulations. Fire codes mandate specific features to minimize fire risks and ensure safe egress during fires. Non-compliant access panels can create gaps, allowing flames and smoke to spread. The 8" x 8" BA-FRN-DF Fire-Rated Access Panel Uninsulated with Mud In Flange helps maintain fire-resistant walls and ceilings.
The BA-FRN-DF is a fire-resistant access panel designed for walls or ceilings, offering fire protection and easy access to utilities behind drywall constructions. It has a 1.5-hour fire rating, protecting hidden utility lines.
The panel's mud-in flange allows for drywall compound application, and its automatic closing mechanism ensures proper panel closure. It also offers security options with upgradeable locks like mortise deadbolts and cylinder cam locks. Made from 16-gauge cold-rolled steel, it provides a practical solution for construction projects requiring fire safety compliance and easy access to utility lines.
Why Should You Use the 8" x 8" BA-FRN-DR?
- Fire-Rated & Easy Access: The BA-FRN-DF addresses two challenges in one solution. It offers a 1.5-hour fire rating for safety compliance while providing easy access to utilities for maintenance and repairs.
- Peace of Mind: By protecting utility lines from fire damage, the BA-FRN-DF safeguards your building's functionality and potentially prevents utility failures during a fire.
- Clean Look: The mud-in flange integrates seamlessly with drywall, maintaining the aesthetics of your finished walls and ceilings.
- Convenience for Maintenance Crews: Automatic closing ensures the panel stays shut, and the internal release mechanism (for larger panels) allows safe access from within for repairs.
- Security You Can Choose: The BA-FRN-DF has a basic latch, but you can upgrade to high-security options like mortise deadbolts for added peace of mind.
- Built to Last: The 16-gauge cold-rolled steel construction ensures the BA-FRN-DF is durable and can withstand frequent use.
