The Kidde 6831-3 is the surface-mount trim enclosure for the 6830-1 permanent remote fire telephone handset station. Break glass access in signal red keeps the handset protected until an emergency demands it, and the included lock and keys give authorized personnel a non-destructive entry path for testing and maintenance.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Fire telephone communication systems are a code requirement in high-rise buildings, large commercial structures, and campus environments where firefighters need floor-to-floor or zone-to-zone communication during an incident. This trim provides the visible, code-compliant housing for the 6830-1 handset station - clearly labeled "TELEPHONE" with emergency instructions on the face, so first responders can locate it immediately in smoke or low-visibility conditions.
Key features
- Break glass access: tamper-evident protection keeps the handset secured until needed
- Lock and keys included: authorized non-destructive access for inspection, testing, and maintenance
- Signal red finish: high-visibility color meets fire alarm equipment marking conventions
- Surface-mount design: installs directly to the wall surface without recessing

Compatibility
Designed specifically for the Kidde 6830-1 Permanent Remote Telephone Handset Station. Verify your fire telephone system requirements against local AHJ and NFPA 72 provisions before ordering.
