SKU:
KD-2459-SMB-R

The Kidde 2459-SMB-R provides a clean, code-compliant surface mounting solution for Genesis 2400 Series wall notification appliances. When there's no recessed box at the mounting location, this back box gives installers a solid steel platform with built-in conduit access - mount the box, pull wire, and attach the notification appliance directly to the face.

Built for the fire alarm installer

Heavy-gauge steel construction with a durable fire red baked enamel finish stands up to commercial and institutional environments without painting on-site. Pre-punched conduit knockouts and mounting holes keep install time to a minimum, and a grounding provision supports NEC-compliant installations out of the box.

Key features

  • Purpose-built for Genesis 2400 Series: matches the mounting pattern for wall-mount horns, strobes, horn-strobes, and chime-strobes
