Kidde - Edwards EG4RSB Surface Mount Back Box Red

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS EG4RSB is a red surface mount back box designed for wall-mounted speaker and strobe fire alarm devices. This enclosure provides a flush, finished mounting surface for compatible notification appliances in fire alarm systems. It mounts directly to a wall surface without requiring an in-wall rough-in box, making it suitable for retrofit installations and applications where wall access is limited. Fire alarm technicians and low-voltage installers use this back box to give wall-mounted devices a clean, code-compliant appearance while providing a secure housing for wiring connections.

This back box is used in commercial and residential fire alarm installations where surface-mounted speaker and strobe notification appliances are specified. It is appropriate for corridors, offices, and common areas where concealed conduit or in-wall boxes are not practical. The red finish matches standard fire alarm device color conventions, keeping the installation consistent with life safety equipment color requirements.
