5 SQUARE™ Fire signal box increased size and space added around the perimeter of an appliance helps to prevent ground faults and short circuits. also dramatically reduces stress on terminals, resulting in fewer damaged appliances. In addition, a major fire signal manufacturer allows a full complement of conductors to be routed in the box per NEC® Table 314.16(B) and also C.E.C. table 22, part 1. This allows additional circuits and zones to be pulled through the 5 SQUARETM Fire Signal Box, potentially reducing conduit. On a large construction project, these savings can really add up. Twice the volume as standard electrical boxes. Eliminate troubleshooting time and costs.
5 SQUARE boxes offer more than double the cubic-inch capacity of a standard 4 in.-square deep box, making it faster and easier to route wiring and make terminations in the box.
Save labor turn a two-man job into a one-man job by storing the slack cable loop in the box for easy access by a single technician when terminating communications cables.
The extra room in the 5 SQUARE box dramatically reduces the likelihood of ground faults and short circuits when installing large fire alarm devices.
