A shower waste pump is a mechanical device that will eventually need its valves serviced or a part replaced, and if it is sealed behind tiles that means breaking the finished wall. A correctly sized access panel lets an engineer reach the pump, isolation valves and fused spur quickly. Position it at a comfortable working height, keep the area behind it clear, and make sure the panel can be opened fully once the room is tiled and furnished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes \u0026amp; product codes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAKW code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEAN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAKW Access Panel 523 x 523mm for Shower Pumps \u0026amp; Plumbing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5055295166769\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e523 x 523mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAKW code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccess to shower pumps, valves and plumbing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it big enough for a shower pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is AKW’s large access panel and is intended for reaching pumps and plumbing; check your installation layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs there a smaller size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, 195 x 272mm (30202).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan it go in a ceiling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccess panels can be fitted in walls, ceilings or boxing where there is a suitable opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot sure which part you need?
