The Kidde 3000-202 Wire Guard keeps ceiling-mount smoke and heat detectors intact in environments where they take a beating. Clip-on installation covers the detector without blocking airflow to the sensing chamber, so the device stays functional and protected without any rewiring or additional mounting hardware.
Built for tough environments
Gymnasiums, warehouses, loading docks, correctional facilities, mechanical rooms - anywhere a ceiling-mount detector is within reach of carts, ladders, equipment, or occupants. The open wire cage design absorbs direct impact while allowing smoke and heat to reach the detector unobstructed. White finish blends with standard ceiling tiles and detector housings for a clean installed appearance.
