10" x 10" FD-HG Heavy Gauge Steel - 2 Hours Fire-Rated Insulated, Flush Access Panel For Walls - JL Industries

Keeping walls fire-rated while allowing access to utilities can be challenging. Standard access panels can create weak spots, allowing flames and heat to spread too quickly due to their typical design. This can lead to costly code violations and concerns for any building.

The 10" x 10" FD-HG Heavy Gauge Steel – 2-Hour Fire-Rated Insulated Flush Access Panel is designed to slow down fire and heat for up to 2 hours. Its self-closing door helps maintain fire resistance, while the insulated, heavy-gauge steel construction adds durability.

Plus, the flush design blends seamlessly with the walls, making it a practical and reliable choice.

Why Choose the 10" x 10" FD-HG?

• Energy Efficiency: The 2" mineral wool insulation provides an R-value of 8, helping to reduce heat loss and improve thermal performance.
• Durable Steel Construction: Made with a 20-gauge steel door and 16-gauge steel frame, ensuring long-lasting strength in demanding environments.
• Seamless Integration: The flush design blends smoothly with walls, maintaining a clean and professional look.
• Automatic Self-Closing Door: A built-in closer ensures the door automatically latches from 90° open, meeting fire code requirements.

Installation Instructions

1. Prepare the Opening: Mark and cut a wall or ceiling opening that is ¼" larger than the panel size for a secure fit. Ensure framing supports the access panel’s weight and fire-rating requirements.
2. Secure the Panel: Position the access panel inside the opening and fasten it through the provided mounting holes in the 1" flange using fire-rated screws. Check if the frame sits flush with the surface for a seamless finish.
3. Check Functionality: Open and close the panel to confirm the smooth operation of the continuous hinge and self-closing mechanism. See if the latch engages properly, and all components align securely to maintain the fire rating.
