Watts Brass Tubular APU9 Springfit Access Panel 8x8

Product Description

The WATTS BRASS TUBULAR APU9 is a SpringFit wall access panel designed to conceal wiring, cables, and plumbing components while keeping them accessible for service. The access door measures 8 inches x 8 inches, with an overall outer frame of 10 inches x 10 inches. The panel accommodates existing wall openings from 5 inches x 6 inches up to 8 inches x 8 inches, including irregularly shaped cutouts. Constructed from polystyrene, the panel ships with a plain white faceplate that accepts paint or wallpaper to blend with the surrounding wall surface. A cutting template is included if a new opening is needed.

This access panel is suited for residential and light commercial applications where concealed access to plumbing valves, electrical junction points, pump controls, or low-voltage wiring is required. The SpringFit design eliminates the need for cutting in most retrofit situations, making it a practical choice for service technicians and contractors working in finished wall environments. The panel is sold in a package quantity of five units, making it well suited for multi-unit or multi-room projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, electricians, or general contractors during rough-in or remodel work. De-energize any electrical circuits and shut off water supply to nearby plumbing before cutting or modifying a wall opening. The SpringFit frame seats into the existing opening without fasteners in most cases; consult the included template if a new opening must be cut. Follow applicable local building codes for access panel placement in finished assemblies.
