Safety Technology Int'l Inc KIT-71100A-E Backbox Kit

Product Description

The SAFETY TECHNOLOGY INT'L INC KIT-71100A-E is a backbox kit designed to provide a recessed or surface-mount housing solution for exit devices and push buttons. Finished in orange, this kit measures 1.5 inches deep, making it suitable for installations where wall depth or mounting clearance is a key consideration. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for use by licensed electricians or security system installers working on egress hardware, access control panels, or emergency push button assemblies in commercial and light industrial environments.

This backbox kit is used in applications involving exit devices and push buttons, typically found in commercial buildings, warehouses, and facilities where code-compliant egress hardware must be properly backed and secured to the wall. The orange finish aids in visual identification during installation and may serve as a color-coded designation for specific device types or zones within a facility. Installers working on door hardware, access control, or emergency egress systems will find this kit suited to standard rough-in backbox requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified security hardware installer in accordance with applicable NEC and local building codes. Power to any associated low-voltage or line-voltage circuits must be shut off at the breaker before mounting or wiring the backbox. Verify wall construction and stud spacing before installation to ensure proper anchoring. Do not overtighten mounting fasteners, as this may distort the box and affect device alignment.
