In the construction of a single-family home with a basement, the installation of a backflow preventer, as required by regulations in Quebec, was planned. This device is mandatory and prevents sewer backups by stopping wastewater from flowing back into basement plumbing fixtures.
To ensure access to this essential component, for inspection and semi-annual maintenance as recommended, a FlexiSnap access panel was integrated near the floor at the connection point.
With its adjustable frame, available in three sizes, and a magnetic closure system with four hidden magnets, the panel allows for easy and rapid installation while ensuring permanent access to plumbing components.
The panel's discreet finish blends seamlessly with the basement walls, while meeting accessibility requirements for technical components. This solution allows the homeowner or qualified technician to perform cleaning, joint inspections, or part replacements as needed.
