STI BPF0808 EnviroArmour Fiberglass Back Panel 8x8

Overview

The STI BPF0808 is an 8x8 inch fiberglass back panel engineered to provide structural and environmental protection for access control hardware in demanding installations. EnviroArmour fiberglass construction resists moisture intrusion, UV degradation, and physical stress — critical when reader frames, strike mechanisms, or control modules sit exposed to weather, humidity, or high-traffic abuse. This mounting surface is purpose-built for indoor and outdoor access control deployments where protective backing prevents water ingress behind hardware and extends component lifespan on the job.

Compatibility

The BPF0808 integrates with STI access control system installations requiring protective mounting surfaces for readers, strike plates, and control modules. The panel supports 9VDC powered devices and accommodates standard reader and strike hardware configurations within its 8x8 inch footprint. Consult the specific STI reader or strike family documentation to confirm hole-pattern alignment before ordering — mounting hole spacing must match your exact hardware model.

Installation Notes

Drill four 7mm masonry holes for wall-mounting, using the back panel as a template. Position weather gaskets (if supplied separately) over the device before securing the panel frame to prevent water pooling behind mounted hardware. For surface installations, use cable entry inserts to blank off unused holes and maintain the environmental seal. Ensure all fasteners are corrosion-resistant when mounting in outdoor or high-humidity environments.
