Oatey 34055 Plastic Access Panel, 6-Inch by 9-Inch, White

This is my second access panel I have purchased. I used the first for access to a plug behind a corner cabinet in my remodeled kitchen. By code you must have access to electrical outlets, and this allowed me to keep access, at the same time having a clean look inside the cabinet. The second panel is used in the basement as an access hole to pipes in the remodeled kitchen. Instead of repairing the drywall, I installed this so I could keep access in the event something would need to be changed or accessed, since the hole was under the kitchen sink. It blends very well with the ceiling and so far no one has noticed unless I pointed it out. The ceiling is painted flat white.The panel has a bevel around the opening so your hole doesn’t have to be perfect, and a simple bit of adhesive (I used Liquid Nails) on the backside of the bevel, sliding it in the hole will make it look very professional and secure the bezel to the opening.. The insert that covers the opening fits very tightly, so it will not come off by accident, and might even require a screwdriver or similar device to open the access hole. This can be install on a ceiling without worrying about the insert falling out. The insert can be difficult to place back in the panel surround since it fits tightly, and once it seats, it “clicks” in.I will continue to turn to Oatey Access Panels when I have the need, especially during a bathroom remodel in the future, so I can access any pipes around the tube if needed.If you have to cut in to drywall, this is a great alternative to repairing the drywall, and it gives you the convenience of future access if needed.
