Lol, December 1999 ... I just pulled that same smoke detector off my ceiling ... 93082 -- lasted about 30 years, not bad.

[@margieeee1]

Thank you. Very helpful.

[@genarobeltran2576]

Hi there ; nice and easy good job thanks!!

[@russellheidel4779]

turn the ac power off first before pulling the wires out

[@felicedemarco5534]

If the connecting is exactly the same there is no need to rewire the hard wire that's in there correct? All you do is turn off the electric panel and then plug it in?

[@alekogosh332]

You should replace them with 4 nest protects

[@Ty-tie_FTW]

Never responds to comments but why the hell did they change the connector and mounting plate?? Just to make it a pain in the a$$ and charge you more damn money? For this reason alone, I'm buying a different brand. They want you to buy their adaptor and rip you off for even more of your money

[@russellheidel4779]

the fadc old i4618ac new

Every dyi video shows 3 wires but my detector has 4. Why is that?

[@NR-en2uo]
