8" x 8" Fire Rated Access Panel Insulated with Mud In Flange
Achieving a flawless drywall finish is now easier than ever with the BA-FRI-DF 8" x 8" Fire-Rated Access Panel Insulated - Mud in Flange. This innovative panel, specifically designed for fire-rated walls, optimizes the drywall hanging process for both commercial and residential projects, such as:
- Concealing access points in fire-rated walls and ceilings for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC systems.
- Providing discreet access panels in maintenance areas, utility closets, and other fire-rated spaces.
- Creating fire-rated inspection hatches in elevator shafts, electrical rooms, and other restricted areas.
Crafted from 16-gauge steel by Best Access Doors, the BA-FRI-DF boasts a 2-hour fire rating, exceeding stringent safety requirements. Exposed, perforated flanges simplify the taping and mudding process, ensuring a seamless finish where only the access panel door remains visible.
Why Choose BA-FRI-DF?
Simplified Mudding and Finishing: The perforated flanges readily accept drywall mud and tape for effortless application, precise placement, and a professional finish.
