The Kidde K-270-DOC is a non-coded break glass fire alarm pull station built for conventional fire alarm systems. Die-cast metal construction handles high-traffic commercial and industrial environments without the durability concerns of plastic enclosures, and the break glass activation method provides clear visual evidence of use - no guessing whether someone pulled the station or if it tripped on its own.
Built for the commercial installer
Surface-mounts to standard electrical boxes and wires into conventional FACP initiating circuits with screw terminals. The double pole open circuit configuration with one closed circuit contact (DPOC/1CC) gives you both normally-open and normally-closed monitoring in a single device. UL and ULC listed for commercial fire alarm installations in the US and Canada. Key reset after activation - no special tools beyond the standard fire alarm key.
Key features
- Break glass activation: glass rod must be broken to pull the handle, providing tamper evidence and deterring false alarms in high-traffic areas
- Die-cast metal housing: built to survive commercial and industrial environments where plastic enclosures won't cut it
- Double pole open circuit with one closed circuit contact: DPOC/1CC wiring configuration for both NO and NC circuit monitoring
- Key reset: resets with a standard fire alarm key after activation, replacement glass rods available separately
- UL and ULC listed: approved for commercial fire alarm installations in the US and Canada
System requirements
Connects to any conventional (non-addressable) fire alarm control panel initiating device circuit. For addressable SLC-based systems, use Kidde's Intelligent Manual Pull Stations instead.
