Kidde - Edwards K-279B-1120 Pull Station Break Glass

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS K-279B-1120 is a single-action, break-glass pull station designed for use in fire alarm systems. It features a key-accessible design and wired connectivity, making it a standard manual initiating device for commercial and industrial fire detection installations. The break-glass mechanism provides a tamper-resistant activation point that requires deliberate action to trigger, reducing false alarms. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors install and commission this device as part of a larger fire alarm control panel network.

This pull station is suited for commercial, institutional, and industrial environments where manual fire alarm initiation is required. It is typically mounted at accessible egress points such as corridors, stairwells, and exit locations per applicable fire code requirements. The key cylinder allows authorized personnel to reset the station after activation without damaging the housing, streamlining post-alarm service calls.
