ADT Fire and Security has launched a ceiling tile adapter to help electrical contractors save time on site when installing fire detectors.

Specifically designed to be mounted onto a suspended ceiling, the adaptor enables the base and head to be fitted before the false ceiling is installed.

The new patented adapter allows the ceiling installer to cut an industry standard 127mm hole in the relevant tile, and then fit a simple plastic profile ready to accept the detector.

Peter Lackey, fire product marketing manager at ADT said: “We work closely with our contractor customers to ensure we fully understand issues experienced on site. The patented ceiling tile adapter is a practical solution to a very common problem. Now, real time savings can be had as no time is wasted trying to locate cables and back boxes.”
