The Kidde 3000-209 Controller Backbox provides a clean surface-mount enclosure for Kidde fire alarm controllers and small panels. Steel construction with a white baked enamel finish holds up in commercial environments and blends with standard decor - or takes paint when it doesn't.
Built for the commercial installer
Conduit knockouts on the top and rear panel let you route wiring without field-cutting the enclosure. Pre-drilled and tapped mounting holes inside accept controller mounting hardware directly. The box mounts to the wall through rear-panel screw holes, keeping the install straightforward on concrete, drywall, or masonry.
