Manual fire alarm boxes provide occupants with a means to initiate a fire alarm signal when they observe a fire. The FM996-L8 is a legacy Fire-Lite cast-metal pull station typically encountered in older conventional systems and industrial facilities where modern polycarbonate stations are not specified. Units in this family are usually purchased as direct replacements for existing in-service stations rather than for new construction, where current Fire-Lite BG-Series pull stations are typically specified. Specifying the correct mounting style and electrical interface for the existing system is required to maintain UL listing continuity.

Verify panel/device family compatibility before ordering.
