OATEY 34056 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 34056 access panel fit between standard 16-inch on-center wall studs?
The 34056 is a 14 x 14 inch panel, which is sized to drop into the bay between studs or joists spaced 16 inches on center (that bay is about 14-1/2 inches clear). Cut your opening to the panel's frame and it sits in the cavity without cutting framing. The 14 inch opening is the constraint, so on 12 inch on-center framing you'd need a smaller panel.
2) Can this Oatey plastic access panel be mounted flush with the drywall, or does it sit proud of the wall?
Either way. The frame on the 34056 is reversible, so you flip it for flush mounting into the wall or ceiling surface, or for surface mounting on top of the finished surface. That is one part covering both installs, which is useful when you're doing a run of panels on a retrofit where some openings are cut clean and some aren't.
3) Does this access panel door lock, or can a tenant or child open it?
The door on the 34056 needs a screwdriver to open. It isn't a keyed lock, so it won't stop a determined adult, but it does keep kids and casual hands out of shutoff valves, wiring or pump equipment behind the wall. For multi-family work where you want the valve reachable by maintenance but not by residents, that's usually the point.
4) Is a 14 x 14 access panel big enough to reach a tub waste and overflow or a set of shutoff valves?
A 14 x 14 inch opening gives you room to get a hand and a wrench onto a tub drain shoe, a P-trap, angle stops or a pump control, which is what this panel is made for. It covers plumbing, electrical wiring and other utility runs you want reachable but hidden. If you need to pull a whole pump or a large valve body out through the opening, measure that component first.
5) Is the Oatey 34056 access panel ABS or polystyrene?
Oatey describes the 34056 door as high-impact ABS, and the catalog spec lists the material as high impact polystyrene. Either way it's a rigid injection-molded plastic panel, not metal, so it won't rust in a damp chase behind a tub or under a laundry riser.
