Additional substructure or trimming
Depending on type and installation situation of the access panels,
trimmer profiles or frames made of profiles are necessary.
Universal connectors are required for the trimmings.
If suspended channels need to be cut and replaced by an
additional trimmer channel, additional suspenders are necessary.
Subsequent installation in walls is possible
If the installation of the access panel is performed at a later time,
the cladding is sawed out. Apply frame made of circumferential profile
pieces (UW or CW) and screw attach (spacing of screws ” 150 mm).

E112.de Knauf alutop Access Panels REVO
Access panels for all partition and ceiling systems without requirements for building physics
Order information
Construction
Required specifications for ordering:
■ Size of the access panel (w x h)
■ Mounting component, e. g, ceiling, partition ...
■ Cladding thickness
■ Access panels for tiling:
Specify tile dimensions (w x h), joint width,
adhesive thickness, tile thickness and cladding thickness.
The exact clearance is determined through
the tile format.
■ Additional options: see page 3
Select access panels considering cladding thickness of the Knauf systems.
Knauf alutop Access Panels consist of a firm outer aluminium frame, and a swivelling and fully detachable hatch. REVO are equipped with
flush bonded or screw-fixed face board made of
Knauf Diamant hard gypsum board.
Outer frame and hatch of the access panels are
reinforced on the rear side using corner connectors. The hatch is fixed flush with the outer
frame using special Knauf alutop locks and hinge
brackets. A joint width of only approx. 1.5 mm is
visible between the outer frame and the hatch
when fully mounted.
With rectangular ceiling access panels, the lock
and hinge system is always mounted on the long
side. With access panels for partitions the lock
is always on top while the hinges are on the bottom side.
Installation requires additional substructure with
trimmer profiles. The access panels are suitable
for subsequent installation in finished walls/ceilings.
The use of round cylinder or profile cylinder locks
and four-square bolting is optional.
Installation of access panels as per accompanying application instructions, installation of
Knauf Systems in accordance with relevant current Knauf Technical Data Sheets. Use drywall
screws TB or Diamant Screws for the attachment
of the frame to the cladding.
CAUTION: The required length of the screws
is determined by the cladding thickness. Apply
at least 2 screws per frame side for panel size
< 500x500 mm, at least 3 or 4 screws for panel size
≥ 500x500 mm. The max. screw spacing is
200 mm. No board joints of the cladding are allowed near the access panels.
With wall access panels, a clearance of ≥ 30 mm
must be ensured in the upper third of the rear
side of the hatch for opening the panel.
It is possible to install the access panel at the
same time as the substructure or after the cladding application.
Cut out opening 12 mm (with REVO 12.5 without
seal 10 mm) larger than the access panel size
(= clearance).
Install additional trimmer profiles made of CD or
CW or UW profiles based on the dimensions of
the access panel, maintain distances between
the cutout section and trimmer profiles of ≥ 30
mm and ≤ 100 mm. Mount 4 additional supsenders in the corner areas of the access panel in
ceilings. More additional suspenders are required for replacing suspended ceiling profiles.
Place the outer frame of the access panel in the
opening, lay it on the cladding, align and screw
attach. Subsequently insert hatch and check lock
for proper functioning. If the distance to the installations in the wall or ceiling is less than 200
mm, it is necessary to perform the installation of
the outer frame in the gypsum board before the
cladding.
■ See included installation guide for more information
Jointing
Surface treatment
Fill outer frame of access panel and the ceiling/
wall surface fully with Uniflott.
It is not necessary to fill or skim the hatch face
when using in case of flush bonded gypsum
boards and surface quality Q2. Fill screw heads
of screw-fixed face boards.
For surface quality level Q3: Scrape skim hatch
face.
Preparation for quality level Q4 on request.
Clean outer frame, hatch, and particularly seal
thoroughly after filling.
For surface treatment of the access panels with
gypsum board face follow Knauf Technical Data
Sheet for the respective system.
Installation
Note for access panels prepared for tiling:
Tile application is only permissible with thin-bed
method. Fill joint between cladding and outer
frame after installation of the access panel. The
edge of the wall tile can be directly applied on
the clearance dimension. Install seal (included).
Note to the painter
Generally remove the access panel hatch before coating and paint separately so that no paint
penetrates the narrow joint between the hatch
and the outer frame. Thoroughly clean outer
frame, hatch, and particularly the seal.
