The Kidde 6832-1 is a fire-red surface mount backbox built specifically for 6830-1 and 6830-2 wall-mount notification appliances. When the job calls for surface mounting rather than flush installation, this backbox provides a clean, code-compliant enclosure that keeps the finished install looking professional.
Built for the commercial fire alarm installer
Heavy-duty steel construction with a durable baked enamel finish stands up to the wear that commercial environments deliver. Conduit knockouts give you routing flexibility on the top, bottom, and rear without cutting on site. Pre-drilled and tapped mounting holes align with 6830 series devices for a straightforward install.
