Simplex 4905-9923 — red surface mount box for rectangular A/V and S/V notification appliances.
Where a wall has no cavity to recess an electrical box into, the appliance must sit proud of the surface with conduit entering a box mounted on the wall face. This is that box, sized to the rectangular Simplex horn/strobe and speaker/strobe housings so the appliance mounts straight to it with no adapter plate or skirt in the stack. Concrete, block and exposed conduit are the usual reasons it is specified.
- Surface mount box for rectangular A/V (horn/strobe) or S/V (speaker/strobe)
- Red; the same box in white is 4905-9924
- 4-5/16" × 6-5/8" × 2-3/4" (110 mm × 168 mm × 70 mm)
- Mounts horizontally or vertically
- Takes the 4905-9961 wire guard, which fits semi-flush or surface-mounted boxes
It is a box, not a cover: 4905-9937 and 4905-9940 are shallow adapter skirts that dress an existing 4" square box, 4905-9915 and 4905-9916 are surface mount box adapters, and 4905-9931 adapts appliances to an older 2975-9145 box.
