The K-279B-1120 gives building occupants a clear, two-step activation - lift the door, then pull the handle - reducing accidental pulls while staying simple enough for the general public to operate without instruction.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Pulling the handle breaks a glass rod and trips a toggle switch, latching the handle in the alarm position until the station is deliberately reset with a key. Six-inch wire leads drop straight into a junction box splice instead of landing on screw terminals, a faster connection on jobs already using pigtail wiring. Rugged red Lexan construction with white raised lettering stands up to daily wear in high-traffic areas.
