ADC-BAC-FRI-DF
ADC-BAC-FRI-DF Fire-Rated Insulated Access Door with Mud-In Flange
When hanging drywall, there are no shortcuts; achieving a smooth finish requires careful attention, patience, and focus. The ADC-BAC-FRI-DF Fire-Rated Insulated Access Door with Mud-In Flange is specifically designed for fire-rated walls—making the drywall hanging process more efficient. Made of sturdy 16-gauge steel, it has a fire rating of up to 2 hours for commercial and residential projects.
Whether you're installing new drywall or working with existing fire-rated structures, the ADC-BAC-FRI-DF is a perfect fit. It has exposed, perforated flanges that can be taped and mudded over joints or drywall.
After taping the joints, apply your chosen compound to the flanges for easy adhesion to the drywall surface, resulting in a beautiful, seamless finish. Once the process is complete, only the panel door is visible, giving a polished appearance.
