Kidde Edwards 603 Push Button Surface Mount Fire Alarm

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 603 is a stamped surface-mount push button designed for fire alarm and signaling applications. Measuring 1.75 inches in diameter, this compact actuator mounts directly to a surface without a recessed backbox, making it straightforward to install in a wide range of locations. It is sold as an individual unit and is a standard accessory within fire alarm and life safety systems. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers. The stamped construction provides a durable, low-profile form factor suited to demanding commercial and industrial environments.

This push button is used as a manual actuator or signaling input in fire alarm systems where a surface-mount solution is required. Typical installations include commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, and institutional settings where wall-mounted surface wiring is preferred or where recessed mounting is not feasible. It serves as a fire alarm accessory in systems requiring discrete manual input points.
