8" x 8" BA-FW-5050 Fire Rated Panel With Flange
Do you know how quickly a fire can spread in a building? What starts as a small flame can grow into a major blaze in as little as 30 seconds. That's why building codes require fire measures throughout residential and commercial buildings.
The 8" x 8" BA-FW-5050 Fire Rated Panel with Flange addresses this need. Its purpose-built design helps slow the spread of fire between building sections while providing necessary access to systems.
The BA-FW-5050, constructed with 20-gauge steel and 2-inch fire-rated insulation, creates a reliable barrier in wall and ceiling openings. This panel features a UL 1-½ hour "B" label rating for walls and a Warnock Hersey 3-hour rating for non-combustible ceilings.
Its practical design includes self-closing mechanisms and concealed hinges, making it functional and aesthetically pleasing for building projects that must meet fire code requirements.
Are you planning on installing one in a commercial kitchen, laboratory, healthcare facility, or other specialized environment? We also offer this access panel in stainless steel and custom configurations. Simply fill out the form to discuss your specific application requirements.
Why Should You Use the 8" x 8" BA-FW-5050?
- Industry-Validated Performance: This panel has earned a UL 1-½ hour "B" label rating for walls and a ULC 2-hour "B" label. For ceilings, it provides a Warnock Hersey International 3-hour rating in non-combustible materials and a 1-hour rating in combustible materials.
- Effective Heat Management: The 2-inch fire-rated insulation helps contain heat, minimizing potential damage to surrounding building areas and providing precious time for response during fire incidents.
- Code-Compliant Solution: It meets UL 10B, CAN/ULC S104, and NFPA 80 standards, which satisfies building inspector requirements and ensures regulatory compliance.
- Smart, Functional Features: The BA-FW-5050 features a concealed hinge for clean aesthetics, self-closing and self-latching mechanisms for reliability, and an inside latch release for accessibility when needed.
- Durable Construction: The panel has a 20-gauge steel door and 16-gauge steel frame for long-lasting performance. It includes a baked white prime coat finish that you can paint over to match any interior. We recommend applying additional finish paint for superior corrosion resistance.
