What is porcelain break glass?

Porcelain break glass is a type of emergency safety device used to break glass in order to gain access to fire extinguishers, fire alarms, and other emergency equipment in case of an emergency. Porcelain break glass is a durable, high-quality material that is resistant to impact and weathering, making it an ideal choice for outdoor use.

Porcelain break glass is typically made in a rectangular shape with a red or green cover and can be surface mounted or flush mounted depending on the installation requirements. When the glass is broken, an alarm sounds or a latch is released, allowing access to the emergency equipment.

Porcelain break glass is often used in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and other large facilities where safety equipment needs to be easily accessible in case of an emergency. They are also used in public areas such as elevators and train stations. Proper maintenance and regular testing of porcelain break glass devices are necessary to ensure they are functioning correctly in case of an emergency.
