Kidde - Edwards 2459-SMB-R Surface Mount Box Red

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 2459-SMB-R is a red surface mount box designed for use with compatible fire alarm and life safety control devices. Surface mount boxes provide a finished, code-compliant housing solution when flush or recessed installation is not feasible, allowing devices to be mounted directly onto walls or other flat surfaces without requiring a cut-in or back-box cavity. This accessory is typically installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors during new construction or retrofit projects where standard electrical boxes are not present or accessible.

This surface mount box is suited for commercial and light commercial fire alarm installations where a clean, professional appearance is required alongside surface-mounted device placement. It is finished in red, which is standard for fire alarm and life safety applications, aiding in visual identification of emergency equipment. The unit ships individually and is classified as a fire control accessory.
