STI STI-8200-W Smoke Detector Damage Stopper Flush Mount
Overview
The STI-8200-W is a flush-mount protective cage constructed from 16-gauge white coated cold-rolled steel designed to shield smoke detectors from physical damage and tampering without compromising detector functionality. The white polyester coating provides corrosion resistance while the perforated steel matrix allows smoke to reach the detector element. This solves the real problem in high-vandalism environments — prisons, hospitals, and correctional facilities — where unprotected detectors incur frequent replacement costs and false alarms from deliberate damage.
Compatibility
The STI-8200-W retrofits over existing smoke detectors and is suitable for flush and surface mount ceiling or wall applications. The cage design accommodates a variety of smoke detector types including motion detectors. The perforations are sized specifically to prevent pencil-sized objects from passing through — a critical specification in institutional settings. UL Listed to U.S. safety standards for specific smoke detectors; verify exact detector model compatibility before ordering.
Installation Notes
Four fixed-point installation through the mounting flange. Designed for both flush and surface mount configurations on standard ceiling or wall substrates. Installation requires no special tools — cage slides over existing detector and fastens at four points. Simple removal enables access for detector maintenance and battery replacement without cage removal. The white coating is resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for food service areas and water treatment plant installations where chemical exposure is a concern.
