The 6832-1D is a red steel wallbox built for flush or surface mounting fire alarm notification appliances on commercial jobs. At 14" x 8-1/2" x 3-5/8", it accommodates standard notification devices and provides a clean, finished look whether you're running exposed conduit on a surface mount or recessing into the wall.
Built for the commercial installer
Red-painted steel construction meets fire alarm color coding requirements out of the box. The dual-mount design handles both flush and surface applications, keeping one SKU on the truck instead of two.

Sized at 14" x 8-1/2" x 3-5/8" for standard fire alarm notification appliances including horns, strobes, horn-strobes, and speaker-strobes. Verify compatibility with the device's installation manual.
Does the wallbox come in colors other than red?
This SKU (6832-1D) ships in red, the standard color for fire alarm installations. Check the Kidde catalog for alternate color options if the application requires a different finish.
What's the difference between this wallbox and a gang box?
Gang boxes (like the 27193 series) are smaller enclosures for modules, relays, or pull stations. The 6832-1D is a larger wallbox sized for notification appliances (horns, strobes, speakers) that need more mounting surface area.
