George Risk Industries 29AWG-B Surface Mount Contact Brown

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 29AWG-B is a surface mount magnetic contact designed for use in security and alarm system installations. This contact features a 1.5-inch gap rating, making it suitable for applications where standard narrow-gap contacts will not fit. It is a terminal-style device, meaning field wiring connects via screw terminals rather than a pigtail lead. The brown finish allows it to blend with wood-tone door and window frames common in residential and light commercial settings. Security installers and low-voltage alarm technicians are the primary trades that work with this component.

The 29AWG-B is intended for surface mounting on doors, windows, or other access points where recessed installation is not practical. Its 1.5-inch gap specification accommodates larger door-to-frame clearances or installations with weatherstripping that creates additional standoff distance. The brown color option suits applications where aesthetics matter and the hardware must integrate with the surrounding trim or frame material. This contact is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Surface mount design for straightforward installation without routing or drilling deep cavities
• 1.5-inch rated gap accommodates wider door or window clearances

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage security or alarm technicians in accordance with local codes and NFPA 731 guidelines. Power down or disarm the alarm panel before wiring this contact into the zone circuit. Mount the magnet section to the moving door or window sash and the contact body to the fixed frame, aligning the two components within the rated gap distance. Verify gap alignment and zone continuity before closing up the installation.
