Watts Brass Tubular APU15 Springfit Access Panel 15x15

Product Description

The WATTS BRASS TUBULAR APU15 is a Springfit wall access panel designed to conceal wires, cables, pumps, and other utilities while keeping them fully accessible for service. The panel installs without cutting when the existing rough opening falls within the compatible hole-size range, preserving wall integrity throughout. The plain white polystyrene faceplate accepts wallpaper or paint, allowing it to blend with finished wall surfaces. The overall frame measures 16 inches x 16 inches, and the access door measures 14 inches x 14 inches. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians install this panel during rough-in or finish work where behind-wall access points are required.

The APU15 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a clean, paintable access point is needed behind walls. Typical installations include utility rooms, mechanical closets, bathrooms, and any finished wall space concealing valves, cleanouts, junction boxes, or pump assemblies. The panel fits hole sizes ranging from 10 inches x 10 inches up to 15 inches x 15 inches, and it accommodates odd-shaped openings. A cutting template is included for situations where a new opening must be made. This panel is sold in a package quantity of 5 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or electrician as part of finish work on mechanical systems. If the existing opening is within the supported size range, no cutting is required and the panel springs into place. When cutting a new opening is necessary, use the included template and follow applicable local building codes for wall penetrations. Always de-energize electrical circuits and shut off any relevant valves or utilities before beginning work behind the access panel.
