The importance of the right access door

In any commercial or residential ductwork system, it is important that access points be provided to facilitate cleaning, inspections, and other maintenance activities.

Access panel sizes are standard across the industry and are either circular or square/ rectangular in design. Where a standardised access door does not fit a duct design then a removable panel made from sheet metal may be installed; this is not always ideal, but this critically enables access for maintenance.

Matt Saunders, Regional Sales Manager for Air Services at Swiftclean says,

“It’s vitally important that access doors are fitted at regular intervals so our engineers can make sure the complete system is accessible for cleaning. Our client will then be compliant with the requirements of TR19® or TR19® Grease. It also helps our sales team to supply accurate quotations before the work is carried out”.
