Elmdor ACC16 Drywall Access Door 16x16 Inches

Product Description

The ELMDOR ACC16 is a drywall access door designed to provide service access to concealed plumbing, electrical, and mechanical components behind finished wall surfaces. Built for flush installation into standard drywall assemblies, it allows tradespeople to reach shut-off valves, clean-outs, junction boxes, and other serviceable equipment without cutting and patching drywall repeatedly. The door measures 16 inches x 16 inches, making it a common choice for residential and light commercial applications where moderate access clearance is required. Licensed plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians typically specify this door during rough-in or as a retrofit when access points are needed in finished spaces.

The ACC16 is suited for interior wall and ceiling installations in residential construction and light commercial buildings. It is used in applications where a clean, paint-ready finish is required after installation. Typical install scenarios include access to plumbing shut-off valves, recessed mechanical controls, and electrical enclosures in finished drywall. The flush-mount design integrates with standard drywall thicknesses common in residential framing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, electrician, or general contractor during rough-in or finish stages. Cut the rough opening to the specified frame size before securing the door frame to the surrounding drywall. Ensure all electrical circuits or plumbing systems in the immediate work area are de-energized or shut off before cutting into any wall cavity. Follow local building codes for access door placement near electrical panels or gas lines.
