Sioux Chief sc-970-214s Access Panel 14x14 in Over Under

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF sc-970-214s is a 14x14 inch over-under access panel designed to provide service access to plumbing fixtures, valves, and piping concealed behind finished walls. Part of the Sioux Chief 970 series, this panel features a beveled face with a textured surface that accepts paint or wallpaper, allowing it to blend into finished wall surfaces after installation. The frame mounts securely to studs or other structural support during rough-in, or can be attached directly to the outside of an existing wall after finish work is complete. The panel attaches adjustably to the frame, accommodating wall thicknesses up to 0.75 inches.

This access panel is used in residential and light commercial construction wherever plumbing or mechanical components are installed behind finish walls and require periodic inspection or service access. Typical applications include installations behind tub and shower surrounds, utility walls, and chase walls where shut-off valves, cleanouts, or supply lines need to remain reachable without demolishing the wall finish. The 14x14 inch opening is suited for moderate-access applications requiring enough clearance for hand tools and manual valve operation.

Key Features

• Adjustable panel-to-frame attachment accommodates wall thicknesses up to 0.75 inches
• Beveled panel face provides a finished, low-profile appearance after installation
• Textured surface accepts paint or wallpaper for seamless wall integration
• Frame mounts to studs during rough-in or attaches to wall face after finish
• Panel covers frame seamlessly once installed, concealing the rough opening

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation access panel for residential and light commercial wall assemblies requiring access to concealed plumbing or mechanical components.

Installation Notes

Access panels of this type are typically installed by licensed plumbers or general contractors during rough-in or finish stages of construction. Before installing in an existing wall, shut off any pressurized supply lines or drain the system as needed before cutting the rough opening. Frame fastening should comply with applicable local building codes and framing requirements. Do not install over live electrical wiring or panels without appropriate electrical access panel rated for that purpose.
