Kidde KIT-82 is a set of four #8 x 1.5" tamper-resistant stainless steel screws with snake eye (spanner) drive heads. These prevent unauthorized removal of fire alarm pull stations, notification devices, and other wall- or ceiling-mounted equipment in commercial installations.
Built for tamper prevention on commercial fire alarm installs
Snake eye drive requires a matching two-pin spanner bit to install or remove, keeping devices secure from casual tampering in schools, hospitals, detention facilities, and public buildings. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in indoor and outdoor-rated locations.
