FlipFix White Metal 1 Hour Rated Access Panel Inspection Hatch

The FlipFix White Metal 1 Hour Rated Access Panel Inspection Hatch is a robust and fire-safe solution for both wall and ceiling installations. Designed for easy access to essential services, it is supplied with the patented FlipFix fitting device, offering a quick and secure installation while maintaining safety standards with a 1-hour fire rating.

Key Features:

• Fire Safety Certified: This metal access panel is certified for up to 1 hour of fire resistance, ensuring integrity in both ceiling and wall applications. Tested in accordance with BS EN 1634-1: 2014, it is fire rated for up to 600x600mm, providing reliable protection in fire-rated environments.
• High-Quality Construction: Manufactured from durable Zintec steel, the panel features a 0.9mm thick door and frame, ensuring strength and durability. The panel’s metal-faced door provides a sleek and professional look, ideal for commercial and residential applications.
• Picture Frame Design: The panel comes with a 20mm seamless, mitreless picture frame on standard sizes, or 25mm on bespoke sizes. This design allows for a clean, aesthetic finish once installed, seamlessly blending with surrounding surfaces.
• Patented FlipFix Fitting Device: The innovative FlipFix fitting device allows for quick and secure installation without the need for additional screws or fittings. This device accommodates plasterboard thicknesses ranging from 8mm to 32mm, making it versatile for various applications.
• FlipFix Flush Lock: The door is secured with the patented FlipFix flush lock, providing easy access while maintaining a sleek, low-profile appearance. Other locking options are available upon request for those requiring enhanced security features.
• Customisable Finish: Powder coated in RAL 9010 with a 30% gloss finish, the panel is suitable for most interior spaces. Other colours are available upon request to match specific project aesthetics.
• Easy Installation: Installation is simple and efficient. The structural opening should be 5mm larger than the panel size. For example, a 600x600mm panel requires a 605x605mm opening. The FlipFix system allows for easy clamping behind the plasterboard, saving up to 20 minutes on installation time.
• Locking Mechanism: The door is secured with a budget lock as standard, offering basic security for inspection access. Additional secure locking options are available on a made-to-order basis for enhanced security needs.
• Inspection-Only Access: Designed specifically for inspection purposes, this panel is not suitable for personnel access, making it perfect for accessing electrical, mechanical, or plumbing services behind plasterboard surfaces.
• Customisable Sizes and Construction: While the fire certification covers panels up to 600x600mm, larger sizes can be manufactured to the same construction standards upon request.
