Access Panel AWENTA KRAL3 aluminium 200 x 250 x 12.5 mm

AWENTA KRAL3 aluminium 200 x 250 x 12.5 mm is a compact access panel designed for creating a neat inspection opening in walls or ceilings. Constructed from lightweight aluminium, the panel facilitates access to concealed installations such as plumbing, ventilation ducts and electrical junctions while maintaining a low-profile appearance. Its shallow depth makes it suitable for situations with limited installation space where a small, durable access point is required.

Advantages

The aluminium construction provides corrosion resistance and a lightweight solution that is easy to handle during installation. The slim 12.5 mm frame depth allows mounting in thin partitions and suspended ceilings without requiring significant structural modifications. The panel’s plain face offers a discreet finish that can be painted or finished to match surrounding surfaces. Designed for frequent but unobtrusive access, it supports routine inspection and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Access to plumbing shutoffs and small pipe junctions
• Inspection of ventilation duct connections and dampers
• Access to electrical junction boxes and wiring in non-load-bearing partitions
• Small maintenance openings in suspended ceilings and thin wall constructions

How to use

Locate and mark the required opening in the wall or ceiling matching the panel dimensions. Cut the opening and prepare the surrounding surface to provide a flush fit. Position the access panel into the opening and secure it according to the chosen fixing method—typically with screws or clips suitable for the substrate. Ensure the panel sits level and that any edges are sealed or finished to match the adjacent surface. Use the panel to reach concealed components for inspection, adjustment or minor repairs.

Usage recommendations

Choose appropriate fasteners for the substrate (plasterboard, masonry or metal framing) and consider sealing edges where moisture or drafts are a concern. If painting, use compatible primers and paints for aluminium surfaces and allow proper drying before reinstalling the panel. For electrical or plumbing work, isolate services and follow applicable safety regulations before accessing concealed installations.
