Description
Lowell LUH-BOX is a universal surface OR recessed backbox
for extreme environment installations of paging horn Model LUH15T. Dual functionality allows a single model to be ordered and
stocked for surface or recessed use. A finish trim plate, Model
LUH-TP, covers rough openings in recessed installations (order
separately).The backbox is ideal in schools, medical facilites,
transportation terminals, prisons, commercial or industrial spaces
and where the durability of an extreme weather- resistant backbox facilitates installation of environment resistant horn Model
LUH-15T. The clean, square design is precision formed from 20gauge stainless steel and finished in powder epoxy paint for
exceptional durability in both indoor and outdoor installations.
The rear of the backbox is punched with a universal mounting
pattern for installing to a 4” square, 4” octagon, 2-gang or 1-gang
E.O. box. The rear also includes a .375” hole with grommet for
wire access. The backbox features four .875” conduit knockouts
(one on each side) and measures 10.5” SQ x 4.0” D. The backbox is finished in Lowell’s durable Network Grey powder epoxy.
The backbox is engineered specifically to mount Lowell’s narrow
profile 15W Unihorn compression driver Model LUH-15T. The
horn and grille trim ring install to the backbox using the horn’s
screwdriver adjustable clamps (dogs) - see page 2 for clampmounting diagram. The horn’s fine perforated grille, included with
the horn, press fits into the grille trim ring. Optional vandal resistant grille Model LUH-VRG may also be ordered separately to
screw mount to the grille trim ring if needed.
Grille Model LUH-VRG (11.5”SQ) is an optional environmentresistant cast aluminum grille for Unihorn Model LUH-15T. The
grille includes a painted stainless steel barrier screen and tamper-resistant screws. The grille is painted in durable Network Grey
powder epoxy finish to match the backbox and the horn.
