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.

FAQs

Why wire leads instead of screw terminals?
Wire leads splice directly into existing wiring or a junction box, which can be faster than landing conductors on screw terminals - useful on jobs already using pigtail connections.
What's needed to reset the station after activation?
The 276-K1 reset key (included), used to open the station, restore the toggle switch, and replace the glass rod.
