The Kidde 27193-16 is a single-gang surface mount back box built for commercial fire alarm installs where flush mounting isn't an option. Steel construction, white finish, and sized to accept Kidde Genesis notification appliances, pull stations, horns, strobes, and horn-strobes.
Built for the commercial installer
When the wall won't take a flush box - concrete, block, or finished surfaces you can't cut into - this back box gets notification devices mounted cleanly without structural compromise. UL and ULC listed for fire alarm service. Pairs with the full Genesis family and other single-gang Kidde notification appliances.
Key features
- Surface mount design: mounts directly to concrete, block, or finished walls where flush boxes aren't practical
- Steel construction: stands up to commercial environments and meets fire alarm listing requirements
- Single-gang form factor: accepts standard single-gang Kidde notification devices, pull stations, horns, strobes, and horn-strobes
- White finish: blends with standard commercial interior finishes (also available in red as 27193-11)
- UL and ULC listed: approved for fire alarm notification appliance installations in the US and Canada
Compatible devices
Designed for use with Kidde Genesis wall-mount notification appliances (horns, strobes, horn-strobes, chimes, speakers, speaker-strobes), single-action and double-action pull stations, and other single-gang fire alarm signaling devices.
