Vault access panel

The Vault access panel is a type of wall panel.

A Vault access panel is a square metal panel with a handle. The front of the panel is marked by a raised X with a protruding center set within a depression. Panel's back is smooth. In a typical wall section of a corridor, two of these panels are arranged vertically.

Vault residents use the Vault access panel for concealing the pipes when they aren't undergoing maintenance.

Vault access panels are located in all corridor segments.

Vault access panels were supplied to the Vaults prior to the Great War of 2077.
