Safety Technology International BPA1816 Aluminum Back Panel

Product Description

The Safety Technology International BPA1816 is an aluminum back panel designed for use in fire accessory enclosures and control panel assemblies. Measuring 16.88 inches by 14.88 inches, this panel provides a rigid, durable mounting surface for fire alarm components, relay modules, and ancillary devices. The aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and structural stability in typical indoor installations.

This back panel is suited for residential and light commercial fire alarm system installations where a standardized mounting surface is required inside a protective enclosure. It is commonly used to organize and secure control modules, power supplies, and terminal blocks within fire alarm or notification appliance circuit housings. The 16.88 inch by 14.88 inch footprint fits enclosures of corresponding interior dimensions.
