Kidde - Edwards AB4G-SB Surface Box for Sounder Base

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS AB4G-SB is a surface-mounted back box designed for use with compatible sounder bases in fire alarm notification systems. This enclosure provides a flush-mount solution where recessed electrical boxes are not available or practical, allowing sounder base devices to be installed directly on flat wall or ceiling surfaces. The AB4G-SB is sold as an individual unit and is a standard accessory in commercial and residential fire alarm installations where surface wiring conditions require above-surface mounting hardware.

This surface box is used in fire alarm notification system installations where a recessed junction box is not present or feasible. It is suited for commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, and multi-family residential applications where sounder base devices must be mounted on exposed surfaces. Installation is typically handled by licensed fire alarm technicians or licensed electricians working within the scope of a fire alarm system project.
