Ryan Box

Does anyone know what a "Ryan Box" is?

This has to do with the electrical power connection to a fire alarm control panel.

Thanks.

Well I did a search and because Meg Ryan has box office sales I don't know it's possible to find anything other that. :roll:

Sounds like a fuse cutout to me. Fuse cutouts are popular in New York City for fire alarm equipment circuits. They contain one or two fuses and a fuse holder for the neutral that gets a solid copper dummy fuse so that the neutral can be disconnected also. Dont'know if this is called a Ryan Box though.

Re: Ryan Box

Is there a street box on this install? Back in Mass. we had 'Gamewell" boxes that would send a code to the fire station and sound a real loud horn that the whole town could hear.

Maybe in your area it's a "Ryan Box" ?

Re: Ryan Box

A ryan box is a two fuse box, with two 15amp fuse-stats. They are tapped directly off the main (or a transfer switch if their is an emergency system). It is used to power the fire alarm panel.

They ain't cheap, about a hundred and fifty bucks.
They are a pretty red, and say fire alarm equipment though.
