Wheelock SHBB-R Surface Backbox — Red, NS/AS/RSS/RD Series
The Wheelock SHBB-R is a surface-mount backbox for Wheelock notification appliances in the NS, AS, RSS, and RD families. First, the red steel enclosure provides the mounting depth required for surface installation of Wheelock strobe and speaker-strobe devices. As a result, the appliance sits flush against the backbox rather than requiring an in-wall electrical box.
Specifically, the SHBB-R is the red-finished surface backbox in the SHBB series. Therefore, it pairs visually with Wheelock red notification appliances on commercial walls.
What the Wheelock SHBB-R Fits
The SHBB-R accepts Wheelock notification appliances from the NS, AS, RSS, and RD product families. Furthermore, these include common strobes and speaker-strobes used in commercial fire alarm systems. In addition, the surface-mount form factor suits retrofits where running an in-wall electrical box is impractical.
As a result, contractors often specify the SHBB-R for masonry, concrete, or surface conduit installations.
