About this detail

A non-rated access panel assembly is installed within a gypsum board ceiling system featuring an MDF panel face. The perimeter of the access panel is framed with a continuous double 150T150-54 metal stud track frame. Two 2-inch by 2-inch by 54 mil sheet metal tabs are provided at each side and attached to the frame with two #10 by 3/4-inch sheet metal screws. The access door is secured with a minimum of two #10 by 3/4-inch sheet metal screws at each tab. The assembly is independently supported by at least four taut 12-gauge wires attached to the structure, capable of carrying four times the weight of the assembly. Eight-gauge galvanized vertical hanger wires are positioned at each corner with a minimum of three tight turns in 1-1/2 inches at each end, alongside 12-gauge diagonal bracing wires running two ways at opposite corners with a minimum of four tight turns in 1-1/2 inches at each end. A new 1-1/2-inch channel is provided if the existing channel is not within 4 inches of the frame.
