Edwards (27193-26) Surface mount box – indoor, white, 2-gang

The Edwards 27193-26 is a 2-gang white surface mount box from the 27193 Series. First, this is a heavy-duty general-purpose enclosure designed for surface-mounting fire alarm initiating devices and other low-voltage equipment. Specifically, the “-26” variant is the white 2-gang configuration. Therefore, it suits indoor installations where a custom site finish is required or where white aesthetics already match the surrounding decor.

What the Edwards 27193-26 surface mount box does

This box provides a finished, professional surface mounting for devices that would otherwise need a recessed wall opening. As a result, installers can deploy pull stations, monitor modules, or signal modules on solid masonry, partition walls, or other surfaces where flush mounting is impractical. In addition, the pre-drilled and tapped #6-32 mounting holes accept standard Edwards device hardware directly. Then top, bottom, and rear conduit knockouts let installers route wiring from any practical direction.

Part number context

Specifically, the 27193 Series ships in one-gang through five-gang configurations and in red or white. For example, the red 2-gang sibling is the 27193-21. Therefore, match the color and gang count to the device(s) you intend to mount.

What this box is NOT

However, the 27193-26 is not a weatherproof / outdoor enclosure, not a UL-listed signaling device, and not a fire alarm control panel cabinet. Furthermore, it does not carry stand-alone UL or NFPA 72 listings — agency listings apply to the host device once installed.
