CRW Plasterboard Access Panels - Wall

CRW Plasterboard Access Panels - Wall

Features

• Sturdy aluminum profile
• 12.5mm (0.5" compatible) thick waterproof gypsum board
• Push Lock Doors (non-detachable) For Easier Access - The product is equipped with minilatch springs clips, so the access door can be opened and closed after it is pressed and removed easily. This allows for easy access to inspection openings and cavities with gas, water and electricity meters or in-house fire plugs. 
• Hidden Panels- Recommended to paint the panel in a color corresponding to the color of the room in which the product is installed.
• Application- These panels provide easy access to wall inspection openings, as well as recesses containing gas/water/ electricity meters, hydrants, etc. They are available in various sizes so they can be installed in spaces where larger devices are located, e.g. hydraulic manifolds.

Installation Guidance

1. Measure neck size of access panel
2. Cut hole on wall +5mm larger than neck size
3. Remove the door from the panel frame
4. Fit the frame to the hole, and secure in place temporarily (eg using a clamp)
5. Fix frame to the drywall easily by drilling drywall screws through the drywall directly into the aluminum panel frame. Recommended to install minimum 1 screw per side - predrilled holes not provided, screw locations can be tailored to site conditions. Screws not included     
6. Replace the door on the frame
7. For applications where panel is to match the surrounding wall, finish the door as with normal drywall finishing, ie mudding, sanding and painting 

Note: The sizes listed are defined as "Neck Size". This is the primary measurement of an access panel, and is the size of opening that would be cut into the wall / ceiling to install the panel.
