STI-9610 Steel Web Stopper High Profile Surface Mount Cage

Product Description

The SAFETY TECHNOLOGY INT'L INC STI-9610 is a steel web stopper cage designed for high-profile, surface-mount installations in fire protection applications. It shields sprinkler heads, smoke detectors, and similar life-safety devices from accidental mechanical damage in environments where impact is a realistic concern. The cage mounts directly to a surface and provides a strong steel web barrier around the protected device without obstructing its function. Licensed fire protection contractors and facility maintenance professionals are the primary installers of this type of guard.

This cage is suited for commercial, industrial, and institutional settings where devices are exposed to physical contact — gymnasiums, warehouses, parking structures, and correctional facilities are common applications. The high-profile design accommodates larger or recessed device heads that a standard low-profile cage would not clear. Surface-mount installation eliminates the need for a separate mounting plate in most standard ceiling and wall applications.

Key Features

• Steel web construction provides mechanical impact protection for fire-safety devices
• High-profile depth accommodates larger sprinkler heads or protruding detector housings
• Surface-mount design for direct ceiling or wall installation without additional hardware
• Open web pattern allows full airflow, water spray, and detection coverage to pass through unobstructed
• Sold as a single unit (EA), suitable for individual device protection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation guard for surface-mounted fire protective device applications requiring high-profile clearance depth.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed fire protection contractor or qualified facilities technician in compliance with NFPA 13 and applicable local fire codes. The device being protected should be fully installed and tested before the cage is mounted over it. Verify that the cage mounting pattern aligns with the existing ceiling or wall substrate and that all fasteners are appropriate for the surface material. Do not install the cage in a way that restricts the operational field of the protected device.
