Customer Reviews For The First Alert BRK/Kidde Smoke Alarm Adapter Plug, 12-Pack
I am very happy with the purchase of the First Alert BRK/Kidde Smoke Alarm Adapter Plug. They prevented me from having to rewire from my old Kidde wiring. With the First Alert BRK/Kidde Smoke Alarm Adapter Plug I was able to connect the 5 First Alert BRK SC7010BV that I had purchased. After weeks of trying to find a solution I am extremely happy with my purcahse.
These were key to easily make the switch from our old Kidde alarms to First Alert- no wires to strip and reconnect- just switch out mounting plate and plug them in. When you have 8 or so detectors to change, it saves a huge amount of time.

I switched out all of my old smoke detectors with new smoke detector/CO monitors and needed several of these adapters to install them. I tried to order them on Amazon but kept receiving the wrong adapters. Decided to order directly from First Alert.
The adapter is simply great. Retrofit old to new quickly. If you have several to change from old to new this adapter is the only way to go.
Adapter was the perfect match. Only needed 2. Had to buy 12. Smaller packages might be a good option.
The adapter worked great to connect my hard wired old alarms to the new alarms. Easy fit, no muss, no fuss. I only wish they were sold in fewer than a 12 pack. I only needed 6 so, cost was more than it needed to be. BUT the time saved instead of messing around with wiring made up for it.
Excellent product. Only place I could find them.
Had 5 new smoke alarms connected in less 15 minutes
For reasons know to the industry, all electric units underwent a change and the familiar triangular configuration for the interconnect and power in now in a straight row. They expect you to cut, strip, and wire nut the new cable. This takes up too much room and is dangerous to do at the top of a ladder. This item eliminates the need and it perfect. I love First Alert, and I own a hardware store that sells a different brand. I bought outside to keep First Alert.
After living in my home over 10 years it was time to replace the Smoke Detectors. The big hold up in changing was the fact that the existing wired connectors were not compatible with my new First Alert alarms. A brief search on First Alerts web page showed me these adapters for sale local hardware store didn't mention them. They did the trick. After turning off the power, I was able to switch out 9 detectors in less than 15 minutes. Couldn't be happier that I didn't have to mess with the wiring at each location.
This was great because I didn't have to turn off the power or rewire when I switched from Kidde to First Alert alarms.
Made install to original Kiddies. Config easy.
Made changing out our smoke alarms from a different brand to First Alert so easy...Thanks!
