SKU:
KD-438D-10N5-R

The 438D-10N5-R puts a loud, unmistakable alloy-steel gong on the wall or ceiling for jobs where a traditional vibrating bell is the right call over an electronic horn - retrofits, older buildings, or specs that call for it by name.

Built for the commercial fire installer

The 10-inch gong reaches 88 dBA at 10 feet, loud enough for larger or noisier spaces where the smaller 6-inch and 8-inch bells in the line fall short. Heavy-duty cast underdome construction and a rugged, compact vibrating mechanism keep power draw low (0.034A at 120 Vac) while running continuously. The included mounting plate fits any standard single-gang opening, and the optional 449 weatherproof back box extends it to outdoor and wet locations.
