Product Description

The Safety Technology Int'l STI-9730-BK is a wire guard damage stopper designed to protect fire alarm devices, sprinkler heads, smoke detectors, and similar life-safety equipment from accidental impact and tampering. Constructed as a protective cage, the STI-9730-BK fits over surface-mounted devices in areas where physical contact or vandalism is a concern. The black finish blends with darker ceiling and wall installations. Measuring 12 x 12 x 12 inches, it provides substantial coverage for larger devices or grouped equipment.
