Mars mars-70224 Thermostat Guard Ring Base Metal

Product Description

The MARS mars-70224 is a universal thermostat guard ring base constructed from metal, designed to protect wall-mounted thermostats from tampering, accidental damage, and unauthorized adjustment. The ring base serves as the mounting foundation for a compatible thermostat guard cover, securing the assembly to the wall surface and keeping the thermostat stable in high-traffic or commercial environments. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel install this component during thermostat protection upgrades or as part of a new thermostat installation where occupant access needs to be controlled.

This ring base is suited for use in light commercial and residential applications where thermostat guard protection is required. Typical install scenarios include hotel rooms, classrooms, offices, retail spaces, and multi-family units. The metal construction provides durability over plastic alternatives in environments subject to physical wear. It is installed at the wall before the guard cover is attached, providing a stable base that keeps the full assembly flush and secure.
