Solo 200-001 Universal Detector Removal Tool
The Solo 200-001 is the industry-standard solution for the safe removal and refitting of fire detector heads at height. Featuring a unique, adjustable "tri-grip" system, this universal detector removal tool eliminates the need for multiple brand-specific tools, making it an essential component of any professional fire alarm maintenance kit.
Engineered for versatility, the colour-coded grips rotate to accommodate various detector diameters (65mm to 110mm), ensuring a secure, damage-free hold on almost any smoke, heat, or CO detector—including oversized or uniquely shaped housings from brands like Gent, Apollo, and Hochiki.

- Removal Action: Apply firm upward pressure and rotate counter-clockwise to release the head from the base.
- Refitting: Place the new head into the Solo 200, raise it to the base, and rotate clockwise until you hear the positive "click."
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the rubberized grip points with a damp cloth to maintain the "tackiness" required for a secure grip.
