Abstract
A raceway assembly is provided for repositioning an electrical fire alarm pull station from a first position to a second lower position on a wall. The assembly covers the opening in the wall at the first position so that patching of the opening at the first position is not necessary. The assembly also covers the electrical wiring which extends from the first position to the second position within the assembly, and the assembly has a low side profile to provide a pleasing appearance and minimal intrusion into the adjacent hallway or room space.
