First Alert BRK/Kidde Smoke Alarm Adapter Plug (12-Pack) - ADK-12
The First Alert BRK ADK-12 Smoke Alarm Adapter Plug is a vital accessory for homeowners and contractors looking to streamline the replacement of existing hardwired smoke detectors without the need for time consuming and complex rewiring. When upgrading your home's fire safety system, you often encounter different wiring harnesses from various manufacturers. The ADK-12 adapter provides a safe, reliable bridge between your home’s existing Kidde wiring and new First Alert or BRK smoke alarms. This eliminates the dangerous and tedious task of cutting, stripping, and wire-nutting new cables while standing at the top of a ladder. By simply snapping the adapter into place, you ensure a secure electrical connection that maintains the integrity of your interconnected alarm system.
This convenient twelve-pack is specifically designed for retrofit applications in residential homes, apartment complexes, and commercial properties. It allows for a near-instant transition when replacing competitive models, significantly reducing labor costs and installation time. The ADK-12 is engineered to be compatible with a wide range of industry-standard models. For BRK, it supports the 4120-series, 9120-series, 7010-series, 5919, 2002RAC, SC6120B, SC9120B, HD6135FB, and the RM3 relay. On the Kidde side, it is compatible with the 125-series, 1275-series, 1285-series, 1276, PE120, PE120E, PI1200, and the JD135F.

Safety is the primary focus of the ADK-12 design, which conforms to the UL 1977 standard for recognized components. The triangular configuration of the adapter ensures that power and interconnect signals are transferred accurately across different alarm generations. This is particularly important for interconnected systems where one triggered alarm must signal all others in the home to sound.

First Alert BRK/Kidde Smoke Alarm Adapter Plug, 12-Pack Reviews
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.
