Hager 430 Mortar Box for use with Electric or Air Transfer Hinges

The Hager 430 Mortar Box is a critical installation component for electrified door openings, designed to protect sensitive wiring and power transfer hardware from masonry and grout. Engineered specifically for use with Electric Power Transfer (EPT) or Air Transfer Hinges, this heavy-duty mortar shield ensures that your access control wiring remains accessible and undamaged during the wall-pouring or grouting process. Constructed from durable galvanized steel, the Hager 430 is a must-have for secure, professional low-voltage door hardware installations.

Essential Protection for Electrified Openings

When installing electrified hardware in masonry or fire-rated frames, the risk of mortar seepage into the hinge pocket is high. The Hager 430 acts as a permanent barrier, maintaining a clean cavity for your wiring.

• Masonry Shield: Serves as a robust mortar shield that prevents grout or debris from clogging the hinge reinforcement, ensuring the door can be hung and wired without obstruction.
  
• Removable Back for Servicing: Unlike standard permanent boxes, the 430 features a removable back. This allows technicians to easily access, service, or troubleshoot wiring and connectors even after the frame is set.
  
• Integrated Conduit Knockouts: Equipped with top and bottom knockouts designed to accept standard conduit fittings, streamlining the connection between the door frame and the building’s power source.
  
• Universal Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit hinge reinforcements for both 4-1/2" (114 mm) and 5" (127 mm) architectural grade hinges.
