STI BPF1412 EnviroArmour Fiberglass Back Panel 14x12

Overview

The BPF1412 is a 14-inch by 12-inch fiberglass mounting panel engineered to support access control readers, processors, and strike mechanisms in outdoor and semi-exposed environments. EnviroArmour fiberglass construction resists moisture ingress, UV degradation, and corrosion—eliminating the structural failure and equipment leakage typical of plywood or steel backing in variable climates. Deploy this panel where you need a solid, weather-resistant foundation for credential readers and electromagnetic or mechanical strikes without custom fabrication or field modifications.

Compatibility

The BPF1412 integrates with STI access control systems and supports third-party readers and processors that mount via standard M6 or equivalent fastener patterns. Panel dimensions (14" × 12") accommodate typical reader layouts (card readers, keypads, proximity receivers) and integrated strike assemblies. Operates at 9VDC compatible with common access control power supplies and controller outputs. Verify specific reader or strike model compatibility with mounting footprint and cable entry routing before installation—no universal fit guarantee across all brands.

Installation Notes

Mount using four M6 masonry anchors (7mm drill bit recommended for concrete or block substrates). Surface installations require appropriate cable gaskets to seal unused openings and prevent water intrusion around wiring entries. Position the panel centrally over the mounting surface and secure frame with provided fasteners. For outdoor applications, use stainless steel or corrosion-resistant fasteners to prevent rust-through at mounting points. Ensure adequate clearance behind the panel for cable routing and connector access—panel depth is minimal, so plan wire management before installation.
