George Risk Industries 29AWG-G Surface Mount Gap Contact

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 29AWG-G is a surface mount screw terminal gap contact designed for use in door and window security alarm circuits. This contact allows for a wider gap between the magnet and the sensor body, making it suitable for installations where standard contacts cannot accommodate the frame clearance or movement range. It mounts directly to the surface of the frame or door with screws and connects to the alarm loop via screw terminals. The gray finish blends with painted or primed surfaces common in residential and light commercial installs. Licensed alarm installers and security technicians are the primary trade for this device.

The 29AWG-G is used in surface mount applications on wood-frame doors and windows where a gap-style contact is required. The wider operating gap is useful in situations with frame flex, settling, or misalignment that would cause a standard contact to false-trigger. It is suited for residential security panels and light commercial alarm systems. It ships as a single unit and is typically wired into a two-wire normally closed or normally open loop depending on the panel configuration.

Key Features

• Surface mount design installs directly onto door or window frame without recessing
• Screw terminal connections for secure, tool-accessible wiring
• Wide gap operation accommodates frame movement or settling
• Gray finish for compatibility with painted wood or primed surfaces
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface mount gap contact for use in residential and light commercial door and window alarm circuits requiring screw terminal wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed alarm or low-voltage technician. Disconnect or bypass the alarm loop at the panel before wiring to prevent false alarms or panel faults. Mount the contact body to the stationary frame and align the magnet to the moving door or window sash within the specified gap range. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the panel manufacturer wiring guidelines when terminating loop conductors at the screw terminals.
