SKU:
KD-K-270-DOC

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.

What is the difference between coded and non-coded pull stations?
Non-coded stations send a continuous alarm signal when activated. Coded stations send a repeating pattern to identify the station location. Non-coded is standard for modern systems where the FACP handles zone identification electronically.
Does this pull station work with addressable fire alarm panels?
No. The K-270-DOC is a conventional (non-addressable) device designed for initiating device circuits. For addressable SLC circuits, use Kidde's Intelligent Manual Pull Stations (K-BGD series).
What does double pole open circuit with one circuit closed mean?
The station provides both normally-open (NO) and normally-closed (NC) contacts. When activated, the open circuit contacts close and the closed circuit contact opens - giving the FACP two independent alarm verification paths in a single device.
How do I reset the pull station after activation?
Insert the standard fire alarm key, turn to reset the pull mechanism, and replace the glass rod. Replacement glass rods are available separately from Kidde.
Can the K-270-DOC be semi-flush mounted?
Yes. The base unit surface-mounts directly, but an optional trim ring (sold separately) allows semi-flush mounting for a cleaner finished look on drywall or masonry.
